Fantastic to see that I can now get a 1300 or 1800 number with Optus! Telstra had a monopoly on 1300 forever and I have been with Optus for 17 years; no more split loyalties — it’s all Optus, baby!

Comment on Your Business Email Address by Rebecca Nixon

Hi Michael, that's a good question! The first step would be to set up mail forwarding with your current provider, you can do that here for Optus or here for People Telecom, for any other provider just give them a call on their customer service line. Then you would contact your current mailing list to inform them of your new address - the best way to do this is to send a mass email, specifically asking them to delete the old address and update the new one. Then you would update all advertising and collateral by changing business cards or signage, and updating your Yellow Pages, LinkedIn, and any other online contact pages you may have. Finally you would wait a few weeks before sending a final reminder email to your mailing list to let them know the old address is becoming inactive and if they haven't already, to update and whitelist your new address. It may be worthwhile keeping the old address active for a few months, so if any stray emails come through you can respond to them personally, or even give them a call if necessary. We will also have another post up soon about vCards, which you can attach to the email you send which will make it easier for your contacts to save your updated details.

Nice post, what advice would you give to established businesses that want to transition to their own domain-based email addresses yet forward on mail from their existing ISP-based mail accounts?

Comment on A Typical Day with the iPhone by Apple applications

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Comment on Telstra one-minute phone rate shock by Jason Hay

Jason Hay — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:15:46 +0000

The average call length ends in 30 seconds (calls end in second 0 to second 59 no matter how many minutes you've got in front of that). With the new Telstra pricing, all these calls are being charged at the next full minute, so in effect per minute charging adds 30 seconds to each call. You need to work out your own average call length, but in our experience, business calls are about 2 minutes on average (news.com.au say 2.15 minutes). 30 seconds is 25% of 2 minutes. So the timed calls on your phone bill are likely to increase by 25% in addition to the actual rate changes. For every $100 on your phone bill it can easily add up to $200 per year.
