Bennett Valley Telecom

First phone number port-over

by | Jan 16, 2024 | New Tech

I admit I was a little nervous using my business number as the first telephone number to port over to the Twilio developer’s site. 707-573-7272
But it happened. And it’s working quite magnificent. I do need to work on the outbound call branding. It needs to say Bennett Valley Tel at least. It’s a work in progress. And I’m having a lot of fun doing it!

I am hoping to provide you with an “after” picture with all the hardware replaced and ready to go live.

This IT service call was so close I walked it.
But I had to chuckle because I hopped in the car and poked it into the GPS and proceeded to start driving when I found myself making a turn only a few blocks away from the customer. Feeling a little foolish I drove around the block and brought the car home, grabbed my laptop and took that lengthy one and a half minute walk. 🤣

Tackling the beginning of the year anxiety

2024

There are so many things to do in preparation for this new year. Close out 2023’s accounting and start a new set of books while carrying over all the assets and liabilities from 2023. Yuk!

The fun part. Recast Bennett Valley Telecom’s business model to reflect all the new technology that has become available.  Get the word out about our Sonoma County, Wine Country community intercom. (This is going to be my all-time favorite!)

Inventory. I will have to calculate your wish list of items I should have onhand for you. Part of my plan is to provide free WiFi mesh management for all of you who join the VastraMEDIA Community. 

What else? Tell me your thoughts!
