Suppliers Used By TAA

Cellular www.Nextel.com We've been "pushing-to-talk" for many years

Directions www.MapQuest.com Keeps us from getting lost.

Direct Mail www.usps.com/netpost The only way to do direct mail!

Domain Registrar www.TAAdomains.com TAA manages all its URL or website addresses itself now by becoming a registrar through WildWestDomains. We previously used OrderYourDomains who we still highly recommend.

E-blast www.BrontoMail.com TAA uses BrontoMail for sending out all TAA email alerts & collecting subscriber information and highly recommends them to others. Ask for the TAA discount.  TAA switched from Topica after using Topica for several years as Topica came no where close to offering the customization TAA required.  Other providers we have not tried include BlueHornet, TargetWare, IMN, MailDog, M4 & Cooler Email

Fax/voicemail www.J2.com Get a free fax number or voicemail for up to 20 messages a month.  Bigger users can pay $15 per month to get live customer service & the ability to send faxes without a phone line and more. TAA has used J2 for faxes services for several years. J2 bought Efax so we know of no other standalone virtual fax providers. If you do please call us at 206-203-6115 x2. www.maxemail.com 

Foreign Listing Want to cancel your landline & go 100% wireless?  What about your 411 listing? Make sure people calling 411 can still find you or your business by ordering a "foreign listing" with your local phone company. It's not something they want you to buy so expect a little wait until they can even find someone at the phone company that even knows what a foreign listing is. Ask the business office if they have a special "directory support" department. don't let them transfer you to the Yellow Pages ad salespeople though because they don't sell foreign listings. The term "foreign" refers not to overseas but just to the fact that you want to list "a number not from their service". You can list a person's name or a business with a listed address or not. This seems to be the only way to get your phone number (cell phone or other) input into the national 411 directories like www.anywho.com. This is how you would get your local 206 Kall8 numbers listed so people feel confident they're calling a real business.

Internet Hosting www.webeditors.com Ask for the TAA discount. We've recently switched to WebEditors to receive more personalized service at lower rates but can still highly recommend our previous provider WebPublishing.

Recording To automatically record all incoming phone calls for quality assurance purposes, TAA uses Aftel.com's Kall8 service. If you're looking to record calls with your PC. Check out Konexx. To automatically let callers know you record calls to your landline phone, anything else for that matter, try Racom's Call Catcher. To record outbound calls check out OfficeQ. For outbound recording with conferencing & a prepaid payment option check out Maklitel. Other providers: DynaMetric

Search Engines www.Google.com The only one we generally use. If we're digging really deep we'll also use Overture or MSN (the default when you just type a search term into your IE browser).

Survey Zoomerang We've not tried them as we get survey services through BrontoMail.
