Join the Revolution

VOLstate Inc. announces the immediate availability of a revolutionary new telephone service for businesses that combines your Internet connection with your telephone service. In fact we think it is so revolutionary that we are calling the service RevTel. Any business owner can understand the high costs of communications especially when it comes to AT&T phone service. Unfortunately the lack of competition forces us to bow to the demands of AT&T.

The problem that all small businesses face is not just the cost of phone service. You must also buy expensive equipment in order to make the phones work the way you need them to. Advanced features like voicemail, caller menus, call forwarding, call parking, transferring, call recording, etc. requires you to purchase equipment and hire experts to configure it for you. The costs of these PBX systems can be thousands of dollars as well as ongoing costs of maintenance.

As a technology company we constantly evaluate how to further reduce the communication expenses for our business as well as for our clients. It is wasteful for a company to have to purchase a T1 or DSL account for Internet access, and also buy phone lines for voice service, and a PBX to use those phone lines. We pursued a way to unify these communication needs and make it all available over one high speed Internet connection. RevTel became our solution to unified communications. With RevTel, we provide the advanced telephone system and the phone lines over your business' Internet connection giving your business quality service with the most advanced features and lower costs.

Being a RevTel customer provides you with the following benefits:

Local phone service with your current local phone number(s)
200 minutes of long distance with flat rate for additional minutes
Line Hunting
Caller ID
Voicemail
Full featured PBX system
E911 Service
Remote extensions - bring your business phone home with you
Multiple offices - Our solution is IDEAL for this!

Windows of Opportunity

Everyone loves upgrades. Whether it is a new car, a new house, or a new computer, we all enjoy new stuff. If you've been using computers for awhile you know that they just slow down over time. Sometimes a reinstallation of Windows may speed it up for awhile, but sometimes it's necessary to purchase a new computer to keep up with the new demands you have for it. If your business PC's seem like they might need replacing soon, you may want to consider purchasing replacements now.

The Business of Printing

As we progress through the information age we are seeing more and more parts of our lives being digitized. From music, to movies, to e-mail, and even to our health records things are being stored digitally. Even with so much of our lives being stored on computers we still have the need for physical copies of documents.

Antivirus - Don't Use the Internet Unprotected

Most PC users know that you need to have some kind of antivirus protection to keep out viruses that can harm your computer. However it is important to know that having antivirus installed doesn't mean that your computer is invulnerable to attack. You can use a few basic practices to help keep your computers secure from antivirus threats.

My Password is "password"

Keeping your computer and your information safe is becoming more and more of a problem in today's connected world. Having a good password policy for you and your business can help keep your data and computers secure.

Synchronized Email

I can remember when I first began using email a few years ago. Although I didn't receive a lot of new email messages I remember checking for new mail regularly just hoping someone would email me. Since then email has transformed into the number one way people do business. Keeping track of your email conversations is vital for maintaining customer relationships, processing business transactions, and for communicating and scheduling with others. The drastic change from email being a personal luxury to now the de facto standard for business has created new challenges for everyone.

Proactive Support

I remember in 1988 working at my parent's small family business, a real estate brokerage, that the technology used at that time was, well, just pathetic compared to what we use today. We had a single low power PC sitting in the corner that ran the "MLS" system. That computer had a 2400bps modem and a 12" CRT (big and bulky) display.

Internet "Speed:" What Your Business Needs

Make sure your business buys the right speed Internet connection.

Phishing Scams

Anyone who has been using email for any length of time has had to deal with the problem of spam or unsolicited bulk email. While spam may at times a nuisance, its only purpose is to advertise a product or service. Within the past few years a new kind of email fraud has arisen that goes beyond advertising into identity theft called phishing.

Voice over IP

Backup Best Practices

Your business is relying more and more on computers all the time. While the hardware and the software you use are important, it is your business' specific data that is most important (i.e. Word/Excel documents, financial records, email communications, etc.). We all know that sometimes computers fail or files are mistakenly deleted through human error, so having good backups of your crucial data is necessary for your business. In addition company policies and government mandates may require specific guidelines for your backup strategy.
