Well because of the nature of my job, making long distance and international calls are quite norm for me for many years now. I exclusively use phone cards to save but lately the quality is getting from bad to worse. I found a couple of good ones with nice rates and better quality but the minutes randomly disappear for no reason at all so I thought of making a complaint but theres a problem…there is no support number.
A close friend of mine told me about the phone card she’s using and referred me (we both got bonus minutes for the referral) to Onesuite. I signed up using Paypal (you can also use Mastercard or Visa) and bought $20 ($10, $15, $20, $30 are available too) of credits and in minutes I was connected to my friend in India. Rates are very good in all countries and some (about 2 dozens or so) have their own access numbers, meaning you can use your account while…say in India, China or U.K.
Onesuite is rich in features like Zipdial where you don’t need to type in your PIN and Rapidial (onesuite online phonebook) make calling so much easier and save time too. Onesuite also added VoIP in their products and their service are now more accessible than ever. Now you can make voip calls on your computer and if you are techie enough you can use ATA device and use Onesuite Broadband services without the need for computer.
Disappearing minutes are now a thing of the past because in Onesuite you can check your account history online and in real time. Calls, phone numbers, date and time of calls are just a few of information you can see and confirm unlike over the counter phone cards where you won’t know if the minutes you consumed is correct. Now no more wild guessing plus you could always phone their toll free 24/7 live customer support for any Onesuite related inquiry.
So if you want to save on your calls (who doesn’t) and get a reliable long distance service, check out Onesuite.com and get 5% bonus when you sign up plus another 5% bonus on your first recharge.

Here are 11 tips in effective blog writing I gathered from the net.
- Make your opinion known
- Link like crazy
- Write less
- 250 Words is enough
- Make Headlines snappy
- Write with passion
- Include Bullet point lists
- Edit your post
- Make your posts easy to scan
- Be consistent with your style
- Litter the post with keywords
1. Make your opinion known
People like blogs, they like blogs because they are written by people and not corporations. People want to know what people think, crazy as it sounds they want to know what you think. Tell them exactly what you think using the least amount of words possible.
2. Link like crazy.
Support your post with links to other web pages that are contextual to your post.
3. Write Less
Give the maximum amount of information with the least amount of words. Time is finite and people are infinitely busy. Blast your knowledge into the reader at the speed of sound.
4. 250 is enough
A long post is easier to forget and harder to get into. A short post is the opposite.
5. Make Headlines snappy
Contain your whole argument in your headline. Check out National newspapers to see how they do it.

Force India F1 is a Formula One motor racing team. The team was formed in October 2007, when a consortium led by Vijay Mallya and Michiel Mol bought the Spyker F1 team for € 88 million.
Force India F1 represents increased Indian participation within Formula One, with Delhi all set to host the first ever Indian Grand Prix in 2010. The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile confirmed the change in name from Spyker to Force India on 24th October 2007.
The Team:
Dr. Vijay Mallya, is the face of the $3 billion UB Group. 52 year-old Dr. Mallya took over the reins of the United Breweries Group in 1983 at the tender age of 28 and has, since then, steered the UB Group to a multinational conglomerate.
Michiel Mol is one of Europe’s most succesful e-businessmen of the past decade. Having graduated from Leiden University with a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics he started his own company, Lost Boys international (LBi), which has since grown to Europe’s largest digital agency, and is listed on both the Dutch and Swedish exchanges.
Colin Kolles began his motorsport career in rallying in 1985, but changed career path soon after to work as an assistant dentist in Ingolstadt, Germany. He later established his own dental practice before becoming reacquainted with the sport in 2000 when he co-founded a Formula 3 team.
