Handset is another term that means different things to different people. Handset is used to describe the receiver on a phone, an entire phone or a cell phone. It is sometimes mistakenly used instead of the word headset. For the purposes of this discussion, we will define a handset as the receiver or the part of the phone that you hold to talk and listen.There are many handsets made for different phones. Our company, Applied Voice and Data deals with handsets on business phone systems. Handsets are not all the same. They differ in fit, color and internal components. If your handset isn't the right size and shape, it won't fit properly in the cradle to hang up a call or it will fall off if wall-mounted. There are many different colors to handsets as well. Finally, if the internal components aren't made to match your phone, you and your caller won't be able to hear each other well, if at all. Different phone systems, even from the same manufacturer, often require different handsets.Handsets break. It is a fact of life. People drop them, slam them, throw them and knock them out of their cradle when wall-mounted. It is probably the most common part on a phone that goes bad. Their...more

Everyone knows how difficult it can be to establish credit. It's the old "chicken and egg" situation - you need credit in order to get credit. The fact that you have nothing in your history to suggest that you will not repay a loan will not help you get one. You need to have something in your credit history that suggests that you will repay the loan. And how do you do that if you have no credit?One solution that's often suggested is a secured credit card. A secured card requires you to put up a cash deposit that acts as collateral against your credit limit. Your issuing bank knows you will pay your bills because they have your cash. If you don't pay, they will just take it out of your deposit.A secured credit card is a good way to start building a credit history if you have none, but is there anything else you can do? How about joining a health club?That may seem like a strange notion, but it may not be that far fetched. Most health clubs, especially the national chains, will have you sign a contract to join. That contract will require you to make monthly payments for a minimum amount of time, say two or three years. Most of them will also report your business to the credit...more
