THE FUTURE.

We feel we are well qualified to hazard a guess at the likely developments in future communications for the simple reason we ourselves use just about everything under the sun including satellite phones to link our various agents and offices, the problem we all face if we operate internationally is that we typically have numerous telephone numbers and messaging facilities. This means our clients and friends frequently don't know which number to call, and the more internationalised you become the worse it gets, the result is frustration to the caller and unwanted hassle to ourselves because we end up spending more and more time trying to keep track of all the calls, messages and lost faxes, throw in a couple of answering machines and few email boxes to check and the whole thing becomes a total nightmare. We have now managed to locate the technology to route your communications to any device, anywhere in the world, on any network.

This means that all of your important calls and faxes reach you wherever and whenever you choose. A summary of features appears below, obviously the exact service varies from country to country but most people's requirements are similar so the summary below is a good guide to what can be done.

· One number

A single number for all your global calls and faxes. You can even organize where your calls go according to what you are doing and where you are during the week. The system allows you to direct your calls to any phone with complete accuracy, according to time and day. If you do not wish to be disturbed, you can choose to have your incoming calls sent directly to voicemail. Voicemails and faxes can be downloaded from your email address so that you can access them whenever you want over the Internet without being tied to office email or fax machine. Voicemails can also be picked up over the phone. You can choose!

· Call forwarding

Calls to your number are intelligently routed to any type of phone anywhere in the world. The system will forward calls to any phone in 20 countries so that you can stay in contact wherever you are in the world. We can enter up to 10 numbers in any one profile. These will be tried in sequence.
