If you don’t have a blackberry but do have a phone with an ok data connection, install opera mini and route email through gmail or simply switch to gmail. I’ve found it very useful as I browse my emails online without the need to download.

Also, take a look at opera’s new turbo feature which looks great for country’s like SA that limit bandwidth usage. Combined with a product like Netlimiter Pro that limits data connection speed to 100Kbps Opera reckons you can save up to 80 percent on bandwidth usage without a reduction in browsing speed.

Call forwarding for virtual offices are also critical especially when you are on the move. Ideally you want a single number (e.g. virtual number) where clients can contact you with worrying about how your calls will be answered.

Great tools for starting up your virtual office. I would add the following

- in terms of wireless ensure that you get a good wifi router – wifi lose distance when traversing walls and there are tons of routers out there that just dont make the grade!
- Get a notebook: ensure that at least your RAM capacity can handle some of the demanding applications like Microsoft 2010…
- Definitely get a 3G stick …unless your mobile phone is one of the latest and greates the problem with reading data through mobile phones can be slower however this would be next best choice if you are trying to curb expenses

This article sounds like a page out of my journal. I took the leap in starting an Online Auction Business http://www.riffraff.co.za and the hassle for me was the high bandwidth costs. I utilize pay-as-you-go 3G facility from my network operator. I also only use open source software. I run Ubuntu Linux on my laptop and I haven’t looked back.
