My VoIP phone arrived a bit earlier. It is actually a nice phone – seems like good audio quality, and only took about 25 minutes to configure. A manual would have helped, but I am not sure how much. The pain of it all is though that I found out that my VoIP provider will only allow one user logged in at once. I guess that means that I need to finally get the VoIP PABX up and running – I will probably do that under Windows but we will see…<\/p>\n
I also posted off a parcel to the UK for an eBay purchase. Australia Post somehow decided that a GPS in a small postpack could be classed as a large letter and therefore cost only $1.80 rather than $9.80. The woman at the post office was insistent that it was the correct price – who am I to argue. Sounds really cheap to me – and I normally cannot sell similarly priced articles within Australia for that price. Then again normally my parcels are a bit larger. <\/p>\n
I grabbed a couple of prepaid SIM cards at the post office too. $25 including $25 in call credits. That is enough for me to make something like 5000 SMS calls over the next six months I hope that is enough for testing my software. I do need to wait for my new phone to turn up now too… I could have got another two Nokia phones for an extra $50 but frankly I did not see the need. I have enough of them, and it would really be a waste. Hmm. Now all I need to do is get the SIM’s activated… How painful can that be… Oh, it is Telstra. Expect the worst!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
