Sprint recently announced a new service for their mobile phones called StarStar Me. It’s basically a vanity call forwarding service to your existing Sprint cell phone number. As you know, we provide toll free vanity numbers so it piqued our interest. After further review, we think Sprint has missed the mark with their mobile vanity experiment. The way it works is the user pays monthly for a vanity word/phrase after two star symbols, e.g., **MATT.
Here’s why we think you can do better:

Charlie Sheen’s meltdown and America’s subsequent obsession with the former fake Cleveland Indians pitcher was one of the biggest stories in pop culture of 2011. Needless to say, we’re ready to slam the door on 2011 like the Wild Thing did to the White Sox (¡en español!) and start predicting what will be huge in 2012.

Well, it’s about time.
Way back in the Year 2000, the FCC released the 866 toll free number prefix in order to ease the burden on 888, 877, and 800 numbers. Ten years later, with high quality vanity spellings a rare commodity, the FCC finally has stepped up and unleashed a whole new batch of numbers to champion your brand: the 855 toll free prefix.

So I thought I’d do my best to turn these tips on their head, and in the process leave you some practical tips about securing a great vanity toll free number for your business.

Running a business out of your home is no simple task. If you’re to have any success as a home-based entrepreneur, you must first learn to manage your time, balance your home and work lives, and maintain some semblance of health and hygiene.
But beyond your napping “sleeping” habits and your personal preference to shower/shave/get dressed, the technology you deploy also plays a big role in whether your operation gets off the ground. Here are five of the top reasons you should consider using an 800 number virtual phone system for your home-based business, instead of just relying on your personal home or cell phone numbers…

On the eve of the 41st Earth Day, I’m going to invoke the big ‘T’: telecommuting. The benefits of telecommuting have never been more important to the health of the Earth. Each year, more cars hit the roads in long commutes, increasing energy consumption and putting out more and more pollution.
For decades, leaders in the telecommunications industry have pushed for greener solutions, encouraging and empowering business owners to create telework programs with technologies like virtual phone systems and the hosted VoIP PBX.
