Manage your Voice Mail online!
By · CommentsIf you’re an MTC Little River local phone customer, you have an easy way to manage your phone online that you may not even know about!
Do you see that little button at the top of the page? The one that says “Manage your phone features and voice mail?” Just click that button, put in your ten-digit telephone number and your password, you can start managing all your phone services, including Voice Mail, online. It’s easy and fun!
Send us an e-mail or give us a call and we’ll set you up a password so you can get started!
Since we’re offering FREE Voice Mail this week, let me show you how you can manage your Voice Mail service online. When you login, the first screen you’ll see looks like this:
You can see right on the main screen if you have any voice mail messages. If you do, you can click the link, listen to them right on your computer, and even save them as a WAV file! But this is just the beginning.
If you click on the “Call Manager” tab (see below), you’ll see that you can even set your phone to send your calls directly to Voice Mail if you’re busy or don’t want to be bothered by a ringing phone. As you can see from the screen shot , you can even set your phone to send your calls to another phone (like your cell phone) so you can take them with you when you leave the house if you have MTC’s Call Forwarding feature. Important tip: Whenever you choose an action, make sure you hit the “Apply” button at the bottom or the change won’t be made!
Finally, you can easily set how long you want your phone to ring before it goes to Voice Mail. Have a hard time getting to the phone? Set it for 45 seconds. Don’t want people to wait long before going to Voice Mail? Set it for 15 seconds!
If you click on the “Settings” tab and then the “Messaging” tab, you can even have your Voice Mail messages automatically forward to any e-mail address you choose (see below)! So if you’re at work but want to make sure you get important calls from home, you can forward your calls to your e-mail address so you get them in real time! (And don’t forget to hit “Apply!”)
You can also send notification to other phone numbers letting you know that you have a Voice Mail message. For example, say you don’t want to forward all your calls to your cell phone because you don’t want to be bothered, but you do want to know if you get any important messages. Just send notification to your cell phone when you get a Voice Mail message!
Managing your Voice Mail online is easy, FREE, and can revolutionize the way you use your phone! If you have any questions, please give us a call. Otherwise, we encourage you to access the call management portal and play around with the various features it offers!

If you’ve got an older phone, like a Spyder or older BlackBerry model, we’ve got just what you need to make it new again! We may not carry your phone anymore, but we’ve still got a wide selection of covers, cases, chargers and other accessories for many of the phones we no longer carry!
This week only, get covers and cases for any phone we no longer carry for just $5!

When the movie Cars came out, my kids were CRAZY for Lightning McQueen. They talked like Mater for weeks (and sometimes we still do!)
If your kids or grandkids love Cars, this holiday gift will earn you major brownie points. When this phone rings, it sounds like Lightning McQueen’s voice and features five different ringtones from the movie. It also has built-in Caller ID and backlit time and date.
This week only, we are offering the Cars phone for just $21.95. We have just ONE PHONE LEFT, so we’ll be offering it on a first come, first served basis.
To purchase, give us a call at 620-897-6200 or stop by our Little River, KS location. You can also order over the phone by credit card, and we’ll also be glad to ship anywhere in the United States. Just call for shipping rates!
If you’re anything like me, your holiday gift budget is a lot smaller this year than it was last year. Of course it’s important to shop local and support our area merchants, but for those things you can’t buy locally, the Internet can be THE place to find the items you’re looking for at the best bargain prices. And with MTC’s new, faster Internet service, shopping online is faster and easier than ever!
There are hundreds of online shopping sites, but just a few that are truly helpful in finding the best Internet deals quickly and easily. If you’re a bargain shopper and are looking for the lowest prices this season from the best online retailers here are five great sites to get you started.
As a site that sells overstock merchandise, Overstock.com is perfect for gift buying. Their inventory is diverse and constantly changing — and some items (like bedding and jewelry) can be found at truly amazing prices. However, with inventory selling out daily and sometimes hourly, if you find something you like you better buy it on the spot!
The merchandise on Overstock is well organized and easy to browse with lots of photos and customer reviews. Plus, with $2.95 shipping on every order (even furniture) it sure beats fighting the crowds!
This is another discount site like Overstock.com, where you’ll find deals on everything from MP3 players to high end wool coats and diamond earrings for prices up to 65% off. With excellent customer service and hassle-free returns, this site is definitely worth a look.
FatWallet is not retailer, it is a site that compiles and lists deals and coupons from all over the Internet. You can search FatWallet by category, retailer, popularity or expiration date of the deal. FatWallet also offers a forum that lets readers post coupons and codes for others to use, which may be the most helpful part of the site.
FatWallet also gives you the opportunity to earn cash back from hundreds of stores like Barnes and Noble, but you have to set-up an account and sign-in in order to shop through their “Stores” page.
If you have a Discover card, you may be missing out on a HUGE opportunity to earn cash back on the online purchases you already make. Just go to ShopDiscover.com, login with your Discover card account information, and then you can shop over 100 major retailers’ sites. When you start at ShopDiscover.com, every single purchase you make earns you between 5% and 20% cash back, depending on the retailer. Retailers include big names like Dell, JCPenney, Kohls, Dick’s, even Overstock.com!
Shopzilla is one of the best “comparison shopping” sites around that also includes user ratings and feedback in its search results. Shopzilla searches more than 54,000 stores for the best prices and deals and then compiles them so you can search by product name, category, price range or brand. The user feedback provided on the site is invaluable and lets you research products to find out what other consumers are saying about them. Shopzilla.com also provides helpful information about the retailers selling the products to make sure that your shopping experience is a good one
