Mike Agerbo: Well, if you own a business, you’re probably using mobile phones for your employees. Well, as a business owner myself, I’m always looking of ways to have my employees communicate even more effectively and save money. You can have a look at a solution from Tellus. It’s part of their Mike Direct Connect series and this is actually a network of over 22 million people in North America that have the ability to directly connect with each other with Special Direct Connect Phones.
It’s a push to talk feature, almost like a two-way radio and that’s kind of a nice feature of it. It has the ability to make regular cellphone calls to employees or customers anyone you want but also a two-way radio feature as well called push to talk. And essentially in my group, I can actually program and so I do not have to open up my flip phone and simply hit the button.
Hey Lindsay, it’s Mike.
Lindsay: Hi Mike.
Mike Agerbo: Can you bring down the scripts to the office once you’ve finished your appointment?
Lindsay: Sure.
Mike Agerbo: Cool, we’ll see you then. So, you can see I actually was able to directly connect and it saves me so much time. I didn’t have to sit there, open up the phone, dial the number and then wait for it to ring. This is an automatic connection much like a two-way radio. So, the great feature about that too is that it’s a private conversation. It is very secure. I can take that to another level. If want, I also have the feature called group talk that allows me to have that push to talk feature with a number of different people inside my group.
Using the push to view feature, you can open up the phone and I can actually use the push to talk to send a number of different things, my information, calendar information, also things like pictures and my location. You see this Mike phones actually have GPS built into it so a great feature for companies that have it dispatched and always wanting to make sure they know where their employees are.
Using the talk around feature, I can even take this out into the wilderness. If there’s absolutely no coverage, the talk around feature will allow me to have that push to talk feature within a three kilometer range. As you can imagine, these types of phones and network are ideal for a number of different types of business. Anything from contractors, people in the film industry, outdoor recreation, the list goes on and on.
And they have a number of different types of models available. You can see I even have a ruggedized version one here. This is actually built up to military specification so shut proof, I can also spill things on it you. I don’t have to worry about dust and things like that. So overall, you’re getting the features of having a two-way radio and also a cellphone built into one plus your saving money as well. Using the push to talk feature, conversations are typically five times shorter and there are no long distance or roaming charges in North America.
Again, it’s the Mike Direct Connect, phones from Tellus, a great way to get your business even more productive and to save money.
