YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!

As many of you may have noticed, I have been MIA from the blogosphere for the past couple of weeks. The reason for that is because my time and attention has been focused on sharing with as many people as possible something that I am very excited about - a video phone!





We just recently ordered ours and let me tell you this is one cool piece of machinery that is going to change the telecommunications industry!

The main reason we decided to get it is because when I was growing up my extended family were spread throughout Idaho and Utah. It isn't very far from Washington but in my family it was only feasible for us to see them every other year. So every time we got together for family reunions it was like meeting them for the first time all over again. I sometimes did not even meet some of my cousins until they were two years old!

Now that we have all grown up and married, it has gotten worse and I want something different for my kids. My family and my friends have expanded all across the United States and we rarely get to see them at all. This is why we were so excited about this video phone. The coolest thing about it is its simplicity. It uses VoIP technology to work over your high-speed DSL connection to bring your friends and family right into your home. You can actually see each other in real-time while talking!

We did try a webcam several different times but found the quality of the images were low, the picture was slow and sometimes it was hard to hear what everyone was saying. So when we stumbled upon this video phone and its awesome features we were hooked. Right now the company is doing a promotion and you can get the video phone for FREE - yes, I said free - with a two year commitment to their service and that is why I am making sure to let everyone know!

This is how it works. The service is provided through a great company called ACN - it is currently the world's largest direct selling telecommunications provider. When you place your order for your video phone, you pay your first month's service fee of $29.99 (plus the applicable taxes), the shipping and handling to get your phone to you and a set-up fee to get you started. After that, you only pay the $29.99 per month plus tax for the service which gives you unlimited local and long-distance anywhere in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. This is often cheaper than what most people pay for their local and long-distance service without the pleasure of seeing their loved ones!

Some really cool features the phone has besides the fact that you can see the person you are talking to include:

• the screen can act as a digital photo frame when the phone is not in use (this is really cool because it costs you anywhere between $70 and $120 to get a digital photo frame this size from Costco)

• you can conference in up to four other people and see them all on the screen at the same time

• you can plug the phone into your television and project the image on the larger screen (which is awesome when you want to open Christmas gifts with family that does not live nearby!)

• you can leave video messages when you are unable to reach another video phone user

• it has an auto-light sensor to adjust the image for lighter and darker times of the day

• it has an enhanced phonebook

• it has all the features you would expect from a phone such as enhanced voice mail, call blasting, call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, and more!

You can keep your same phone number with this phone by transferring it over, it has 911 capability, and you can plug the base of your current cordless phone handsets into the back of your video phone and they will still work throughout your home. This phone has it all!

Now I am sure some of you are thinking about those moments when you have just gotten out of the shower and the phone rings and are debating whether you want people to see you in all your dripping-wet glory. Don't worry. Simply hit the privacy button to deactivate the camera and you can still take the call.

If you haven't guessed I have also fallen in love with this amazing company and am currently working for them. So if you decide you want this phone for yourself you will also be helping our family out by being a customer! ACN is the only company that has this technology and they are only giving it away for free through November 30, 2008. After that, the price of the phone will be $99.95. So CLICK HERE to take advantage of the FREE offer today! Check it out and see if it's for you-we would love to see you face to face!
