If you are still in the land line world but want to get Discount Long Distance CutThatBill.com is a great tool to check rates from a bunch of providers at one time.

I have been working hard to track down a good Dallas Web Site Optimization Firm and have found a few and think I have to say DFW Based MasterLink is probally the best top ranking web design company I can find. They certainly have a staff of real experts and even offer free SEO Seminars if you happen to live close to DFW.

VoIP Hunt Continues to roll out new resources the most recent is a City Specific Search for 600 Texas Cities for VoIP and Cell Phone Services. Right now it is just a list but I am sure the project is on the way to make it as functional as all their other tools.

Broadband Phone Services has brought back Lingo Broad Band Phone into their good graces so visitors can once again get Free Calling to Western Europe.

Microsoft acquires VoIP developer

Microsoft said it has acquired Media-Streams.com, a 23-employee Zurich-based company that develops VoIP business applications. The software giant says it plans to incorporate Media-Streams' technologies into its corporate IM platform, Microsoft Office Live Communications Server (LCS) and its Office productivity tools. Media-Streams' software is already integrated with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange. The deal's financial terms were not disclosed. The move follows Microsoft's acquisition of VoIP startup Teleo this summer. Microsoft is incorporating Teleo's technology into its consumer IM service, MSN Messenger. The company's latest purchase will help it add VoIP to the Office Live platform, which already supports real-time communications via IM.

VoIP Happenings In Texas and Everywhere

Consumer Advice and Recommendations

First I would like to draw attention to the two best carriers I have found for the average Texas Resident. The first one is Packet8. While these guys struggled with some customer service issues last year the commitment they have made to improve it is amazing. While SBC continues to get worse and worse and my land line continues to drop Metro Dialing (which I pay 20 dollars extra for) and customer service claims is not occurring my Packet8 Line goes on with never a problem.

The next carrier many of my fellow Texans are finding useful is MyPhoneCompany Broadband Phone specifically those in more rural markets that find it hard to find a number that is in their local area for inbound calls. Folks I know in Tyler or Lufkin generally don’t want a Dallas or Houston number. While Packet8 serves most markets MyPhoneCompany seems to have a list of local area numbers that rivals the white pages.

Next I would like to let ya’ll know about a little dandy of a search engine I found specifically for DSL Texas Options check it out it is very cool!

Lastly I found a great listing of VoIP Broadband Phone Articles – Lots of great info from some good industry insiders and unlike most they are focused on the consumer level events. Now who got the next big microchip deal or who is going to make a billion dollars. Nope useful info like who should choose Vonage and who should Not (most people). How to call Get Europe Unlimited Calling for 19.95 and more.

Now here is an exert from a good article on VoIP in Texas Colleges

I'd bet they didn't have this when you were in college. Or if you are a college student, I'm almost positive this hasn't come to your campus yet. I am talking about cell phones that when in the presence of a Wi-Fi signal on the campus network, can then access the Internet and then morph into VoIP phones. Read the Full Article
