VoIP Phone Tester
We are looking for people who are interested in trying out VoIP and other related services in their home or office environment, giving us feedback on how we can better improve our services and add feaqtures. We will give you six months of free phone service which is our $39.95/month SohoBasic package, you pay only for any long distance you might use.
We'll help configure your phone for your network and give you a quickstart guide to show you how to access the most common features. Your only cost would be to purchase or rent one of the VoIP phones we are testing - prices start at $45 for a phone. Click here to see the models we are reviewing as well as their price and availability.
We'll ask for some basic feedback on your experiences using the phone, any sound quality or service issues, as well as your input on whether the additional features were intuitive to use or not. After the testing, if you would like to continue the service, we'll give you a special service rate for the next 6 months. If you rented a phone from us and want to keep it, we'll credit your rental fees towards the buyout price.

Virtual Desktop
Imagine having your office computer anywhere you go. Access your work desktop and files from your laptop on the road, or at a customer's location. All you need is a small client that can run on a USB key and suddenly any computer is your office computer. Everything is backed up and stored in our secure server environment, making it available to you anytime and anywhere. Our virtual desktops use open-source versions of office applications, so there are no additional licenses to buy when you need to add another person on staff. This is also a great way to take the worry out of hard drive failures and equipment problems--your computer may die, but your desktop lives on. No more emergency visits to the computer shop to see if they can recover your data.
Our remote Linux desktops have a familiar Windows-like environment, plus have 4 customizeable views that let you create multiple work environments - one for work, one for mail & social networking, one for graphics, one for personal use - use them all or use just one.
