March 2008 Diamondcard Update
There are many things to talk about. I've decided to put it all in our
first Diamondcard blog in the support Wiki rather than send out
separate press releases for each item.
We'll get started with invoicing. With increasing numbers of business
clients coming over to Diamondcard from other providers, a common
request has been for invoices. If you have any experience asking for
and getting invoices from Diamondcard you will know that's its like
pulling teeth without pain killers since we have to create them
manually for each request. We are finishing up the programming to have
invoices not only available for historical purposes but also automated
and sent to you without even asking for them.
If you are new to Diamondcard, we are not only a VOIP service provider
but we also develop all our own software. We can customize almost
anything. Including our own system :)
We have Thailand DID's available online. Not just any DID's, but MOBILE
DID's! Quantities are limited. First come first served. They are
available in the online shop. You might be asking WHERE is our online
shop. That's a good question. If you have an account you need to login
and click "online shopping". If you do not have an account go to
L<Online Shop|http://www.diamondcard.us/did>. We will be
completely redoing the Diamondcard site shortly and hopefully after
that people will be able to find and navigate our online shop without
hiring a private detective to help find where it is.
Since I mentioned our online shop, we have revamped it and added a lot
of products to it. VOIP adapters, IP phones, VOIP hardware, and even
headsets. Diamondcard resellers can also get this shop for their
private label too. Not only are you in the VOIP business almost
instantly but you can resell all kinds of VOIP devices and accessories
too. It just gets better and better.
Hola mi amigos! We have added a Spanish USA access number for our
Spanish speaking users. The number is 1-303-997-0919. The Spanish is
using the Spanish dialect. We will be releasing another USA Spanish
access number that will use the Mexican Spanish dialect. Prepaid
calling card accounts can use either one or both.
L<Prepaid Calling Card Platform|PrepaidCallingCards> accounts can
also use this Spanish access number for their clients too. No extra
charge.
In other news our L<SMS service|SendSms> has been moving along
nicely. The ability to send L<SMS's|SendSms> from
L<Ekiga|http://www.ekiga.org> (Linux Softphone) is a nice
feature. 3rd party systems are reselling our L<SMS
service|SendSms> by utilizing our SMS API. This makes it easy to get
into the L<SMS|SendSms> business. Our Diamondcard L<Private
Label|PrivLab> makes it easy to get into the VOIP business.
If you knew who is using our Diamondcard L<VOIP Private
Label|PrivLab> you would be astounded. Of course, we are sworn to
secrecy.
At the bottom of this blog entry as well as sometimes in emails my name
is signed with a title or label of "President". When I hear the word
"president" I think of President Bush, President Clinton. President
seems like some big big thing. It seems strange to me to have a label
like this.
I remember many years ago a business acquaintenance told me a story. He
said he was having a meeting with someone and at this meeting my friend
happened to not be wearing a suit and tie. The other guy was hesitant
about having a meeting with someone that obviously was not the
president or someone important enough to have a meeting with. I mean,
if he were the president he would LOOK like the president and wear a
suit and tie. President's always wear a suit and tie in a business
meeting, right? They have to look "presidential". My friend told the
guy if he would feel more comfortable, he would lay out his suit and
tie in the seat next to him and the guy could have a conversation with
the suit and tie.
I never wear a suit and tie. Maybe I should sign my name "President
(doesn't wear suit and tie)".
