Communicating when away from the office
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2012 12:28 pm
I need to re organise my mobile (away from the main office and PC) communications.
As we all know most enquires and bookings are communicated through the Internet or online and having a system while you are away from the office is crucial
I currently relay on my iphone to access my e mails etc but the phone I have is the 1st version that came out and I still have my original UK number … basically I have not been bothered to change it since moving to Germany as people don’t usually call me direct only text and I have not published the number on rental sites so at the moment I only use it access e mails etc.
So I think the time has come to upgrade this antique and have something a little bit more recent
I am not usually away from the office that often as we live at our rental premises but if I have to go out for the day to a main town to the bank, accountant etc or we decide to have a day out or even when the rentals are quite visit family in England it will just give me the freedom and to utilise my time without being tied down to the business 24/7 as my accommodation is self catering and now with the restrictions on luggage (ryanair) I do not have the space to carry my trusty laptop so my dilemma is to upgrade my iphone with a contract to cover enough to log on to the internet and receive & send E Mails “my mobile office” or look at say an ipad which will fit in handbag or hand luggage with a basic phone ( not a smart phone ) just for calls and looking at holding all or most of my data on a cloud “ any suggestions and advise about cloud storage would be appreciated “ I am not really good at all this techno stuff but I think to able to run my business efficiently I really need suggestions for when I am not sitting at my main desk and PC
Any help or experiences would be appreciated
