By Robyn Greenspan December 13, 2000 Sounds ambitions, doesn''t it? Well, part of the appeal of being an e-business owner is that you don''t need to be in an office, you need only to be connected on some level. Using the easy availability of Internet and phone access, the e-tailer that needs to accomplish many out-of-the-office tasks can remain accessible to clients and colleagues. So, instead of your office having to track you down through multiple contact points -- phone numbers, e-mail addresses and fax numbers -- you can have one centralized location to access all of your messages. Onebox provides you with a free private local phone number and e-mail address that can accept all of your communications via voice, computer or fax. All messages are fully secure and can only be accessed by your own personal PIN. Your personalized Onebox acts as your own communications portal, maintaining fax, phone and e-mail messages in a unified format. By connecting to your OneBox from any phone or computer, you can play and compose voicemail messages, access and respond to e-mail and print faxes. Additional preferences include a calendar function, e-mail signatures and vCards, message blocking, filtering and forwarding. Onebox operates on both Mac and Windows platforms, using Nestscape, Explorer and AOL browsers. No special software or installations are required -- you literally just need to sign up to take advantage of this Web-based communications tool. This free service also doesn''t subject you to any advertising or hidden costs. You can eliminate most of the phone numbers and contact information you''ve accumulated for yourself and receive all your communication through this unified messaging service. Now you never have to miss any important business messages while taking a "meeting" at the beach. |
