Julia is Excited about the Value of Virtual Phone Line



Julia, an entrepreneur and graduate studies student we met working with Alibaba at CommunicAsia in Singapore. She really understands the value of a Virtual Phone Line. We can't wait her to be able to easily stay in touch with her family, friends, business contacts and more from Tokyo when they call her Tokyo Virtual Phone Line. She will receive the calls wherever she goes. Rehan Allahwala, the inventor of Virtual Phone Line, is interviewing.

As Rehan stated, users of Alibaba would truly benefit from having Virtual Phone Lines from the countries they need in order to grow their business and stay in touch with those who are most important to them.

4. Enter the information in the field next to the IM, PSTN or SIP or IAX2 that you want your Virtual Phone Line to ring on, forward to.

Example, if your Google Talk email is 123456@gmail.com then you would enter 123456 next to Google field. If your cell phone you want it to ring to is 1-111-111-1111, then you would enter 1-111-111-1111 in the PSTN field.

Power up with Virtual Singapore Office

Virtual Phone Line is the online location to get your local presence in Singapore, and we are talking about a Singapore Virtual Office via your own local Singapore phone number no matter you are in the world. Add it to your business tools at just $2 per month or pay annually $22. Forward your Singapore Virtual Phone Line to your GoogleTalk IM, Skype IM, SIP or IAX2 address, or MSN IM and more at just $2 per month. Sign up at http://www.virtualphoneline.com.

Why is Singapore a popular location to have a local presence via a Virtual Phone Line? Luxurious standard of living, one of the Four Asian Tigers, popular travel destination, and fast becoming a medical tourism hub. Visit http://www.visitsingapore.com/ to learn why.

In 2009, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Singapore the tenth most expensive city in the world in which to live—the third in Asia, after Tokyo and Osaka. The 2009 Cost of Living survey, by consultancy firm Mercer, has ranked Singapore similarly as the tenth most expensive city for expatriates to live in.

Along with Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan, Singapore is one of the Four Asian Tigers. The economy depends heavily on exports and refining imported goods, especially in manufacturing. This explains why the country is faring so badly in the current recession scenario. Manufacturing constituted 26% of Singapore's GDP in 2005. The manufacturing industry is well-diversified with significant electronics, petroleum refining, chemicals, mechanical engineering and biomedical sciences manufacturing sectors. In 2006, Singapore produced about 10% of the world's foundry wafer output. Singapore has one of the busiest ports in the world and is the world's fourth largest foreign exchange trading centre after London, New York City and Tokyo.

Singapore is a popular travel destination, making tourism one of its largest industries. About 7.8 million tourists visited Singapore in 2006. The total visitor arrivals reached around 10.2 million in 2007. The Orchard Road shopping district is one of Singapore's most well-known and popular tourist draws. To attract more tourists, the government decided to legalise gambling and to allow two casino resorts (euphemistically called Integrated Resorts) to be developed at Marina South and Sentosa in 2005.

To compete with regional rivals like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai, the government has announced that the city area would be transformed into a more exciting place by lighting up the civic and commercial buildings. Cuisine has also been heavily promoted as an attraction for tourists, with the Singapore Food Festival in July organised annually to celebrate Singapore's cuisine.

Singapore is fast positioning itself as a medical tourism hub — about 200,000 foreigners seek medical care in the country each year and Singapore medical services aim to serve one million foreign patients annually by 2012 and generate USD 3 billion in revenue. The government expects that the initiative could create an estimated 13,000 new jobs within the health industries.

Watch and listen to Julia at CommunicAsia 2009 in Singapore explain how a Virtual Phone Line can improve lives. Spread the word!

Ghar Ghar Call Center in India

For years now, India has been a very hot tourist destination, and why not, with wonders like Taj Mahal and 100+ speaking people, who would not want to explore this mystical country…

The govt of India has done another smart move to reduce the call rates to Call TO India to 1 Cent.

I think they have realized that just like when you bring people to your country, and increase tourism to your country, it generates wealth for the masses and for the country.

Similarly in today’s 21’st Century phone calls to friends, family and internet buddies is also tourism, that convert’s into a lot of wealth for many and thus for the country.

This small but huge move will also generate into a new booming industry of next tier of home based call centers in smaller cities of India, where the wealth of call center has still not reached yet.


Small Call Centers, or work from home businesses will appear now, because calls to India now is so cheap, that they do not need to install high speed internet, bandwith, fibre optics, and create software technology parks, but now every single mobile phone in India can be a call center.

All the person needs is a cheap mobile phone, and that is all, no worries about the power failure, or server backups and 1 million other problems associated to callcenters.

My Small company www.virtualphoneline.com is proud to offer US and UK numbers in India for Just $25 a month with US or UK numbers ringing directly on the mobile phones in India with no per minute charge, roaming charge, nor any other charges, Just flat $25 a month and enjoy the calls.

Now people in the US and UK can forward their phone lines to their assistants in India and hire them for a few hundred dollar a month, and save money in this bad economy yet create better opportunity for people in India.

Finally the world is getting flatter and flatter…

Thank You Internet , Than You God!!

God Bless the Internet.

Incoming Call More Powerful than Outgoing Call

History credits Alexander Graham Bell with the invention of the telephone, but inventor Elisha Gray filed papers with the patent office describing a similar device on the same day. Whether Graham or Gray should get the credit, they both are creators of this technology that make it extremely difficult for anyone to imagine not holding a handset to their ear to receive a phone call, to place an outgoing phone call and talk to someone remotely. Lynn Farris writes a series called "Learning about Communications while Living Abroad" in the Dallas Examiner. On May 18th, she wrote Part 1: Skype. Wish I had a chance to talk with her about the power of the incoming phone call... that portion of the call...

I think there are three main reasons that Skype has not totally monopolized the telephony industry:
1. CALLER ID and CALLER NAME: In most cases, when you make an outgoing call to PSTN (cellular or landline), you do not have caller name, caller ID which makes it difficult in business, to get the receiving end to take the call.

2. PHONE NUMBERS and LNP: Skype offers only phone numbers from 20 countries and even in those cases, they do not have nationwide coverage in each country, plus they do not offer local number porting. Virtual Phone Line offers phone numbers from 53 countries. You can make Virtual Phone Lines ring to Skype and many other instant messengers, so that takes care of that.

3. HANDSET: I think Skype needs to conduct worldwide workshops or encourage its users to teach people to feel comfortable with using a headset and mike and also how to use the built-in speakers and mike on a laptop or netbooks. Users could be paid or bartered with by Skype to create accurate videos that show how easy and convenient voip with netbook or laptop is especially over landline and many other topics re: Skype use.

Do you want to start a business of offering local phone numbers from 53 countries to the world of customers? Remember, you will empower your clients to have a local presence anywhere in the world where there are people who are very important to them. Those important people will start calling your customers via the local phone number they buy from you. Interested, right! Just email sales@supertec.com or sales@virtualphoneline.com and we'll give you a tour of your new Call Forward Management Business!
