Can you send emails to cell phones?
Do you know that every cell phone has an email address associated with it and you can send an email to the mobile phone and it will be delivered as a text message (SMS)? It's also a great way to get email messages on your phone.
Yes, you can get email on your phone! (Without paying the web fees) All you need to know is your cell phone's email address.
So how to find the mobile phones email address?
The cell phones email address is the 10 digit phone number @ the domain from your service provider. See the partial list below for the more common providers.
Reverse way to find what your mobiles email address is.
Compose a text message from your mobile and send it to your email address. From the email you received you can find your cell phones email address.
When you send the SMS from your computer, the first 160 characters will be delivered and the subject of the email is also counted towards this.
Note:
Incoming messages may be charged based on the service provider.
Most carriers block emails with images, so you may want to delete your signature before sending, as signatures with logos are not delivered.

Tired of Playing "Tag" With Your Network Vendors?
How many times has main phone line gone out, and you spend three hours on the phone with the provider, just to find out it is a wiring issue and you have to turn around and call the installer? And what about your equipment, is it under warranty, so you call the dealer, or is it past the warranty period, and you now have to call the manufacturer, but was it a Dell or an HP?

Are You Playing What If With Your Backup Recovery?
Have you ever played the What If game? What if your house caught fire? What would be the first nonliving thing you would grab? Majority of people will say their pictures. Pictures capture a moment in time that you will never get back. They capture emotions and tell stories of our lives that may not be remembered until you see the picture.
Now, lets play the What if game for your business. What is your most prized possession in your office? Is it the building? Nope, you have insurance. Your equipment? Nope, its insured too. Your employees? Nope, it is the middle of the night and everyone is at home sleeping. Is it your data? Probably so, because if you are like most, you dont have data insurance. You have never heard of data insurance? Data insurance is your Disaster Recovery.
So, what type of backup recovery are you using? A cd and hoping it didnt get scratched up in the fire, or the office managers purse, if it made it out of the office. A hard drive hoping it very carefully made it out of the office and back in working order. A tape backup, hoping that the last weeks worth of data is recoverable. (Tapes fail up to 70% of the time). Another question is, how long before you can actually get your business back on track? Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or sometimes longer. How quickly can you replace the server? What about all the software programs?
If you are second guessing your disaster preparedness, check out http://optix.onlinebackupsolution.com or http://optixdatavault.com.
Statistics show that after a major loss of computer records, 43% of businesses never reopened, 51% closed within two years, and a mere 6% survived long term.
You are probably still thinking this is all a what if situation, but it WILL be a reality before you know it. And it probably wont be a fire. It will most likely be a human error. I am not comfortable playing the what if game. I am not the owner of this company, but I know that if we lost our computers and servers, I would still have a job to come to, because our data is safe.
SPAM Taking Over Your Email?
Reports show that spam currently makes up two-thirds of all emails received. No wonder it takes hours to sort through your inbox. It is annoying and cuts productivity. Want a way a reduce it? Here are some tips. 1. Remove email links from your website. "Robots" are always looking for new e-mail addresses. Replace the link with a spelled out e-mail address such as "billingatkotoritechnologies.com" or use graphics that display the e-mail address. 2. Be careful who you give your e-mail address to. Many sites sell your e-mail addresses to other companies for a profit. 3. Do not reply to a spam e-mail message to be removed. This may end up with other junk e-mails. Unsubscribing lets them know they have made contact and they will not give up. 4. Never buy from a spam e-mail. If it is something you really need, find it from a more reputable business. 5. Block spam at the server level. There are solutions such as our Optix Mail Security to help with this. Read more at http://kotoritechnologies.com/it-solutions/email-solutions.aspx. 6. Use your built-in spam filters. Most e-mail clients are equipped with some sort of spam filter. Dont be afraid to use it. 7. Purchase a spam filter. Again, this is a service Kotori Technologies offers. See http://kotoritechnologies.com/it-solutions/email-solutions.aspx for more details. Say good bye to the inbox full of Spam and make your day a little more productive.
How to Avoid Computer Injuries
The computer is vital to many occupations these days; however it can also be a threat to your health. The more you sit at the computer, the greater the chances of developing an injury related to posture, overused upper limbs, or eyestrain. Here are a few tips to help you avoid these injuries.
Muscle & Joint Injuries:
Position your keyboard at a height that allows your elbows to rest comfortably at your side. Forearms should be parallel to the florrs and level with the keyboard.
Adjust your chair so that you feet are flat on the floor. If needed, put your feet on a footstool.
Be sure your chair helps your spine hold its natural curve.
Use an ergonomic keyboard to help your hands and wrist have a more natural position.
Take frequent breaks and walk around or perform stretching exercises at your desk.
Overuse injuries
Keep your mouse at the same height as your keyboard.
Position the mouse close to the keyboard.
Use your entire arm, not just the wrist, when moving the mouse.
Type lightly and gently.
Mix your tasks to avoid long periods of typing.
Move your hands away from the keyboard when you are not actively typing. This allows time for your arms to relax
Eyestrain
Be sure the light source (windows, lamps, etc.) are not shining directly into your face or the monitor.
Tilt the monitor to eliminate glare or reflections.
Do not sit too close to the computer.
Position the screen at or slightly lower than eye level.
Adjust your screen to reduce the contrast and brightness.
Take frequent breaks to look away from the monitor.
Have regular eye exams to check blurring, headaches, and other problems that may be associated with the eyes.
Remember, working at a computer can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as eyestrain and overuse of the upper limbs. The risks can be reduced or eliminated with proper workstation design, improved posture, and good working habits.
