    USB Dongle to WiFi

    Thanks to Paul_rosser. I know I should just put it down to bad luck & just buy the 3 mifi and use the unused sim from the dongle in it (it is a 3GB one) but out of interest do you know a uk stockist for your first suggestion and a guide price I should aim for? Also, can you buy a 3 mifi...

    Software or plugin to extract data

    There is a chrome plugin that scrapes email, address details and tel number etc from a website but only if you are viewing the actual contact page with their details on view. But sorry I can't remember it's name!

    Hi all One of my children recently got a tablet computer as a gift for their birthday along with a USB dongle (on 3) so they could connect to the Internet with it. It was from their grandparents and not knowing about these things did not realise that the dongle is no use to the tablet as...

    Short Term Franking Hire

    Like I say, we are getting 3p off at the minute and it saves us putting stamps on as the office reception staff put it through the franking machine for us. Buying stamps would just increase the work and leave us no better off!! We are hoping to somehow knock at least 10p off per letter...

    Short Term Franking Hire

    Thanks for the reply. Our letters are highly personalised and normally contain current news and we only send out in batches of 100-200 at a time so bulk printing & posting wouldn't really work for us. It would be a great option, and work/timesaver if we could get it to work though!

    Short Term Franking Hire

    Hi A business I am involved in will be sending out quite a lot of letters, maybe 10-15,000+, (not in large amounts - maybe 250 max per time) over the next couple of months (just standard letter size First Class). We currently use either Smartstamp (unpredictable software for printing your...

    Telecoms system/licence

    Yes, both offer the service to landlines and mobile. I think you would need to be able to offer it to every carrier now for it to have even half a chance to work. That's what I can't figure to move forward - wether you can get a licence/go ahead for all or if you would have to deal with each...

    Hi all, I am currently setting up 3 websites (all in same/similar niche) and am looking for the best way to present what I want the designer to do. Budget is tight for this project so I am looking for the best way to present what I need in an "offline" way before I contract someone so...

    Headset and Mic for PC (Skype) and Iphone?

    I had asked a member of staff in Maplin if you could get an adapter and they said no! They said they had never heard of one made and just advised getting a bluetooth one. I believed him because Maplin staff are normally quite knowledgeable. I maybe end up buying a bluetooth one but just...

    Anyone Use PC to Post?

    They look simple to do one off letters but has anyone got experience doing a mail merge with them (for maybe 50+ letters)?
