Use your cellphone with your home or office phone system

Last week I told you about how I solved my AT&T “no reception” problem at my office in San Ramon. (https://realtytechbytes.com/solve-poor-att-reception/) The solution works perfectly…if I want to use the speaker phone on my iPhone.  If I pick up the phone to answer it I lose my reception!  That’s because in order for the phone…

Solve poor AT&T Reception

AT&T is the company that people love to hate. It seems like I read at least one negative review of the iPhone for every positive one that I read and all the negative ones are generally based on the poor signal quality of AT&T. I find that interesting because with the exception of one location,…

Pole Pixie provides promising photos

About a month ago I received an email here at RealtyTechBytes.com from a reader asking me to review a product that he has invented and is currently selling. I wrote back and explained that I don’t do product reviews per se, unless I actually own and use the product.  He wrote back and offered me…

Why I am not buying an iPad

Are you caught up in iPad fever? Is every one you know buying one and you are feeling left out? Well, bunky, you are not alone. I was feeling the same way, even though I had made up my mind to wait it out until the second version comes out. But the constant onslaught of…

There is not one word about the iPad in this post!

As I write this post it is Easter, so Happy Easter to those of you, like me, that celebrate it.  Since this is a day that I reserve for family, this will be a very short post. A few weeks ago (https://realtytechbytes.com/idxworth-itor-not/) I asked for your help by filling out a short survey…out of over…

Got your shopping done yet?  Most people I talk to have gotten theirs done or most of the way done.  But, when I ask them what they got for themselves I get a blank look.  Apparently nobody thinks that they should get themselves a gift.  Well, let me offer a suggestion.  Go get yourself a…

iPhone 3G pet peeve solved!

I was one of those people who stood in line for over 6 hours in July of 2008 to buy the iPhone 3G when it came out.  I wasn’t happy to do it, but I endured the wait because the reward was so worth it. Then Apple came out with the iPhone 3GS.  It had…

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Tech Tuesday…

What’s next…Weird Wednesday?  Beat’s me, but in “honor” of all the shopping madness that we are experiencing this weekend, I wanted to share my favorite starting point with you.  I like this site so much that I have made it my browser start page.  It’s http://www.AllMyFaves.com. The idea behind this gem is that you can…

Pico Projectors = Pocket sized Presentations

Do you have an iPod or an iPhone?  If you do, you are half way there to creating a pocket sized method of delivering your listing presentation or property tours. Instead of lugging your laptop to listing presentations (Note: You may still want to take your laptop if you fill in contracts online) you can…

Own your own mobile WiFi hotspot

As real estate agents we have learned how to work away from our offices and to provide our services wherever the customer happens to be, at their home, their office or even at a local coffee shop. One of the factors that has contributed to that mobility is the nearly ubiquitous presence of WiFi.  Although…
