Have you ever started a call on a land line and then wanted to transfer the call to your cell phone so that you can finish from outside?
Ever call someone, leave a message with your office number, then leave your office and realize that forgot to give your cell number?
Would you like to be able to send text messages from your computer rather than from your cell phone? Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog
