Most people know how to use a prepaid phone card by now. However, a few people have never used one so this post is for their benefit. Most of the time, prepaid phone cards are used by dialing what is called an access number, a special phone number, which allows a user to access the phone card service providers system. Some service providers have a network of access numbers and others have only one access number, these can be toll free numbers or what are referred to as local access numbers requiring users to pay the call. In any case, prepaid phone cards are used by first accessing the service providers system.

The following are the steps typically required when using a prepaid phone card.

Step 1: Dial a toll free or local access number in order to access the service providers system. Access numbers should be provided when the phone card is purchased.

Step 2: The caller identifies himself or herself to the system. This can be done by entering a special series of numbers provided with the phone card providers system, called a PIN code, or in the case of PIN Free phone cards the system will automatically ID the caller using caller ID technology.

Step 3: The caller dials the number they wish to call. Phone cards from the North America will require the caller to enter the prefix 011 when making overseas phone calls or the prefix 1 when making a domestic long distance phone call.

As indicated above, the mechanics of using a phone card are simple. However, there are a few things to consider when shopping for a phone card. For example, do you really want to enter a complex PIN code each time you place a call. This may not be a nuisance if you only intend to make a couple of calls but if you plan to use the phone card for multiple calls or for an extended period-of-time than a PIN free phone card should be considered. It is interesting to note that phone cards from major telecommunication companies like MCI or AT&T often do not have PIN Free Dialing or other features. These phone cards typically charge high rates and have good call quality but there are phone cards with similar call quality that are more appropriate for long-term use.

Another important consideration when making a phone card purchase is the access number network. Be sure that the phone card being considered has an access number in the country where you plan to use the card. This is often a problem when a phone card is purchased in the USA and used overseas. Most phone cards have a limited range of coverage. They can only be used to place calls from certain countries and, in some cases, they can only be used to make calls to certain locations. Be sure to purchase cards that have the required coverage.

Another important consideration is the location and type of access numbers used by a phone card. Many phone cards charge extra for using toll free access numbers and these extra charges are usually not included in the advertised rates. It is usually cheaper to use a local access number so check to see if one is available in the area where you plan to use a phone card.

Phone cards are relatively simple products to use but even simple products require some thought and investigation before making a purchase. A virtual phone card like Tel3Advantage should be consider when making calls from North America because it offers high call quality and a full range of features including PIN free dialing and an on-line call history. It is a popular product for people who routinely make international phone calls from North America and want to save money and still have quality, convenience and flexibility.

Carpet Cleaning in Monmouth County NJ

 All Natural Carpet Cleaning NJ

It seems that everybody is talking about “going green” these days — green energy, green household products, and green office supplies. To my company, green isn’t something new. I’ve been using all natural cleaning products for 22 years because it’s the best method of carpet cleaning for homes with pets and children. The chemicals I use in my clients’ homes are the same ones I use in my own.

If you have kids and pets, then you know that accidents will happen. That’s why we don’t just do carpet cleaning. We also do mattress cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and area rug cleaning. Our organic cleaning methods not only eliminate daily household grime and stains. They remove dust mites, one of the most common sources of allergens in the home.

It’s not only our organic products that do the work. We use only soft water during the cleaning process. Why would we want to tell you about that? Because it’s been proven that soft water prolongs the life of fibers by up to 15 percent. That’s something to think about when you have someone cleaning that beautiful and expensive Persian rug in your living room.

Soft water doesn’t have the mineral content of hard water, either. Because the soft water we use doesn’t have calcium and magnesium in it, it actually gets your carpets and upholstery cleaner. We also use the hottest water possible, which eliminates more bacteria and leaves your carpets nice and fluffy clean. Because we use all natural products and soft water, your carpets and upholstery get cleaner than they would by using the usual methods. That gives you peace of mind when you have babies crawling on your floors, doesn’t it?

The methods we use also remove more water from your carpeting than do others. This means you can walk on your carpeting sooner. There’s an added advantage to this, too. Less drying time means there’s less chance for mold spores to flourish. If anyone in your household has a problem with mold, this is a big consideration for their comfort and well-being.

The quality of indoor air is so important. Eliminating dust, dust mites, molds, and bacteria without adding toxic cleaning chemicals is just the right thing to do. We care about our customers and that’s why these things are important to us, too.

Our company doesn’t just say we rely on healthy and environmentally safe cleaning products and methods. We also stand behind our work with a 100% money-back guarantee. Not many home-furnishings cleaning companies will do that. We do it because we’re sold on the quality of our own work. Remember, I mentioned I use these same products and methods in my own home, and I wouldn’t use them around my own family if I didn’t believe in their quality and safety.

While we think our all natural cleaning methods and results stand on their own, we offer some other benefits the other companies don’t. We move your furniture for you, placing it on furniture risers until the carpet underneath is dry. It may not be exactly where you had it, but even you might have a problem finding where it used to sit. That crushed-down pile and five-year-old coffee stain aren’t there anymore, so you can’t use them as landmarks.

Just like everyone is talking about being green, everyone is always busy these days. For your convenience, we give you a particular time that we’re going to show up so you don’t waste half the day waiting for us. We’ll be at your door within five minutes of the appointment. If we’re running late, we’ll call and let you know.

If healthy indoor air, organic cleaning, all natural products, a job well done, and courtesy appeal to you, then you really should give me a call to book a free carpet audit.

Carpet Cleaners in New Jersey

If someone you know is diagnosed with outdoor and indoor allergies, one of the first things he or she has probably been told to do is to remove any wall-to-wall carpeting in the house. It’s true that carpeting traps allergens, but let’s take another look at this view.
Just what is an indoor allergen and where does it come from? The things most likely to make you sneeze and wheeze are pollen, household dust, dust mites, pieces of cockroach carcasses, chemicals, mold spores, dried food particles, clothing and bedding fibers, soil tracked in from the outdoors, pet dander, and dead human skin cells. Yuck! Unless you walk around in a plastic bubble, you can’t avoid all of them. Every time you walk outside to go to work or school, you bring at least some of these allergens into your home with you.
You might think with good reason that hard-surface floors are easier to keep clean because you can actually see the dirt you just cleaned up. Take a look at the dust drifting through a sunbeam right after you’ve swept the floor. That stuff floats around until it settles back on to the floor and furniture. When you walk across the floor, you disturb the dust and it starts floating around again where you breathe it in. That’s not allergen-free living, is it?
If you’ve ever fallen off a bike or if you are middle-aged, you probably know that gravity isn’t your friend. If you have allergies, sometimes gravity can work in your favor, though. Gravity causes allergens to settle back to the floor. Here’s the beauty of carpeted flooring. Carpeting is actually the biggest filtration device in your house. Dirt and allergens settle into the carpeting fibers where they remain trapped and can’t drift around.
All those yucky things we mentioned above are now trapped in your carpeting. Daily vacuuming is your best friend in removing some allergens from your indoor environment, as long as you take the vacuum outdoors to clean it afterward. Otherwise, you’re recontaminating your house with all the dust that puffs out of the filters and bags. Most household vacuums don’t have enough suction to pull everything out of your carpeting. Periodically, you’re going to need to bring in a hired gun, a professional carpet cleaning service.
You already have enough problems with indoor air quality. You don’t want to add to them by using a carpet-cleaning service that depends on toxic cleaning solutions to do the work. Not only are they bad for your air quality while they’re being used, they often leave behind residues in your carpeting that you will be breathing in for months.
This is where our all natural cleaning methods come in. We use soft water that makes cleaning more effective, leaving your carpeting cleaner and healthier because it doesn’t leave a residue behind on the fibers. We move your furniture around as we clean so we get into all those nooks and crannies where allergens like to lurk.
We’ve been clean carpeting for 22 years and learned early on that organic cleaners not only work better, but are just better for indoor air quality and your health. If you want to clean your carpeting, your best indoor air filter, you should give us a call for a free carpet cleaning audit.

Carpet - The Best Indoor Air Filter You Can Possibly Have in Your Home

For more information and a FREE Allergy Report Click Here

Do you worry about indoor pollutants like dust mites, dirt, grit, allergens, dust, and germs throughout your home? If you have hardwood or tile floors, you know these irritants can spread throughout your home unless you constantly keep them spotless, and that’s nearly impossible! Carpets and area rugs can help you solve that problem, because they act like an indoor air filter, trapping these irritants instead of spreading them throughout your home. They actually are the best indoor air filter you can use in your home; you just need to clean them periodically to ensure they are free of these harmful irritants.

Indoor Air Filters

If you worry about soil, dirt, allergens, pollutants, dust, and other indoor soil, you’ve probably invested in one of those expensive indoor air filters. You know, the filters that run all the time, are often noisy, and use expensive replacement filters to keep your home free of indoor pollutants. The filters that use electricity day in and day out, adding to your electric bill every month. To keep these running effectively, you have to keep them properly clean and maintain them all the time. You don’t need to go to all that trouble if you use your carpets and area rugs as indoor air filters. Vacuum them often, have them professionally cleaned periodically, and indoor pollutants will be kept to a minimum.

How Can This be True?

Your carpet is an excellent air filter for your home largely because of improved technology. Think about it – isn’t the vacuum you use today vastly improved from the type you used even ten years ago? Today’s vacuums offer great cleaning technology and Hepa filters that help keep your home a lot cleaner than it ever could be with old technology. Regular vacuuming removes indoor air pollutants like dust, dust mites, pollen, dirt, grit, food particles, and all the nasty stuff that ends up on your floor.

Regular Cleaning

Another key to keeping your home as clean as it can be is having your carpets and area rugs cleaned regularly. Cleaning your carpets keeps them looking good, and it helps them last longer too, but it’s also your final defense against indoor pollution in your home, too. Even if you vacuum your carpets regularly, they’ll still retain some dirt, dust, and debris. A carpet cleaner uses extreme suction to extract the water from your carpet, so it will get anything you missed during vacuuming. It will also remove any stains or surface dirt, making your carpets look brand new.

So, carpets and area rugs add beauty and texture to your home’s décor, and they’re much more comfortable for pets and children to play on than cold, hard tile and hardwood. They act like an indoor air filter, too, trapping dirt, dust, mites, pollen, and other indoor pollutants, so you can vacuum them out, have your carpet cleaned, and know your indoor air is as clean as it can be.

Organic Carpet Cleaning in New York City

The Planet and Your Family Will Thank You!

If the decision to hire a cleaning service that practices organic cleaning or to continue using a traditional service that uses commercially available synthetic products is weighing on your mind, please consider the following benefits to hiring an all natural service.

1. There are huge health benefits to using organic cleaning products in your home for you and your children and pets. All natural cleaning solutions are toxin free and biodegradable, unlike their commercial synthetic counterparts, which provides a healthier and cleaner environment for pets and kids to breathe.

2. Most commercial synthetic carpet and upholstery cleaners overpower the stains by use of heavily toxic chemicals. An all natural cleaning service avoids this by using proven and gentle natural products to remove stains and dust mites from carpets, area rugs and mattresses.

3. A service that advertises itself as “all natural” is and should be held to a higher standard by itself, it’s clients and the government. The peace of mind that comes from this should be immeasurable.

4. The pollutants that we are putting into our bodies by use of commercial synthetic cleaning products have been linked to many of the illnesses that are now suffered. Switching to an organic cleaning service will help you and your children feel better within a matter of weeks. You may see improvement in allergies, asthma and nasal congestion, as well as simply feeling healthier. A reduction in household waste will also be measurable.

5. The benefit to the environment and planet as a whole is also a major reason to use an all natural cleaning service. Humans have been putting toxins into the air and water for a long time. In fact, after the end of World War II, over 80,000 synthetic chemicals have been invented. Most were created from petroleum and tar. These are chemicals that are in our commercial synthetic cleaning supplies. This is what we are using in our homes and around our children and pets. Chemicals that were created for the main purpose of chemical warfare.

Do the best thing for your family and your pets. Go with an organic cleaning service that uses all natural, safe and biodegradable products that are people, pet and Earth friendly! Come home to a wonderfully clean house that smells softly of lavender or other essential oils. Breathe easier knowing you are not inhaling harsh, corrosive chemicals like hydrochloric acid and ammonia. And sleep deeper with the knowledge that you are doing your part to help the environment. Switching to an all natural cleaning service is a decision you will not regret!

The Utility Consumers’ Action Network (UCAN) reported on Monday, March 9, 2009, that average phone users are spending far more on long distance service than they, or the regulators, realize. This finding was reported in an article posted on the UCAN website entitled Consumers Overspending on Telecom Bills. In the article, the author summarizes the results of a recent survey conducted by UCAN on 700 “relatively savvy consumers” in the San Diego, California area. The following quote from the report summarizes the conclusions.

“According to the survey, long-distance charges have increased on average to 55 cents a minute, and just 8% of land line customers are paying less than 10 cents a minute. The discrepancy between the actual usage charges and what consumers pay is traced to the complex — and often confusing — plans that are used by many consumers.”

The results from this survey suggests that if consumers use prepaid long distance than they could save up to 96.5% on long distance service with no sacrifice to call quality or convenience. This conclusion is based on published rates for the Tel3Advantage prepaid long distance plan. Consumers can use Tel3Advantage without changing their existing phone service provider and it can be used with any kind of telephone. Up to 10 different phones can be included in one account, so, one prepaid plan can be used with an individual’s home, cell and business phones without changing anything. As a result, users could save over 96% on their long distance phone service with no pain. A prepaid calling plan is also a great way to budget and minimize phone expenses since consumers can purchase minutes in small denominations and they can be used over a long period of time. A plan like the flex plan offered by Tel3Advantage has no monthly maintenance fee or other hidden costs so consumers only pay for the minutes they actually use.

The rates charged for calls using the Tel3Advantage flex plan are dirt cheap. Long distance calls to destinations in the USA and Canada cost only 1.9 cents per minute. International rates vary by country but rates to more than 200 countries are less than 10 cents per minute. Compare these rates with those reported in the UCAN study and it is obvious that the average consumer can save a lot of money by changing to prepaid long distance phone service.

In today’s economy many people are trying to control expenditures and one way to do so is to use prepaid services. With prepaid services a consumer can purchase a predetermined amount of a service and the service will automatically stop when the amount purchased is depleted. Therefore, it is very easy to control expenses and impossible to over run a budget.

Prepaid long distance phone service in the form of prepaid phone cards has been popular with students, expatriates and travelers for a number of years. This is an especially popular option with those who want to make frequent and cheap international calls. However, now there appears to be more interest from mainstream users since prepaid long distance is a great way to budget phone expenses. There is a wide variety of options which range from very cheap, plastic phone cards purchased at local convenience stores to relatively high quality virtual calling plans sold on the INTERNET. The market currently offers an option to fit any budget and fill any need. For example, Tel3Advantage has been offering low cost prepaid long distance phone service to consumers since 1994 but they have recently started offering Tel3 for Business and Tel3 Mobile. These products contain special features that fill a need in these niche markets while providing them with low cost prepaid phone service. Tel3 services are especially attractive to people or businesses that want to budget long distance expenses while reducing costs and not sacrificing quality or service. Tel3Advantage customers can budget long distance expenses in two ways. First, they can prepay for a fixed amount of long distance service. Second, they can monitor their usage through a call history which is included in their on-line account. Tel3Advantage prepaid long distance has made it easy for people to budget and control long distance phone expenses.

There are also a wide variety of international phone cards which come in all shapes and sizes. These are very useful for budgeting expenses because they also come in a wide variety of denominations. It is very easy to find a denomination to fit any budgeting need. For example, if you want to spend a maximum of $10 per week on long distance calls simply purchase a phone card with a $10 face value each week. Phone cards are typically sold in $3, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations so there is one for every budget. They can also be conveniently purchased and safely held in an on-line account these days so phone cards offer convenience, flexibility, low cost and the ability to budget expenses.
