I just called someone on their Verizon Wireless cellular telephone and they were speaking to someone else. How do I know? Verizon cell phones beep when you call them if the person is on the line. My initial reaction is to hang up because I don’t want to bother the person if they are on [...]

A past client of mine just informed me that she has left ACT. First, she couldn’t get it to work with her Treo and then she became disenchanted with the new version of ACT and the way it worked with her new iPhone. For the record, I introduced her to CompanionLink and we got her [...]
