“Dialing by voice … I could get used to this”
The other day on a Friday morning I was driving up north to do a bit of skiing (I know lucky me) and attend an event held by some professional associates. As it was a Friday, I still had customers and associates of mine trying to get a hold of me, and who I needed to stay in touch with over some important work related issues. As I was in the car for about three hours (sometimes in bumper to bumper traffic and sometimes not) I took advantage of my Voice On The Go for three separate, but important calls.
I have been an active user of Voice On The Go now for three months, since the law came into effect late last year. As I have been getting more used to using my Voice On The Go service, I have found it more preferable to use, even when I am not driving and have the full use of both hands. More and more I am finding the service very easy to use. I simply dial in on my local number, say the contact I want to reach, and the system dials my contact automatically - all handsfree.
It was also fun to use the service in front of a colleague of mine who was riding with me up to the ski hill that day. After I had made the call he just turned and said to me "wow - how did you do that?".
Another bonus to the service, is the free long distance you receive every month. That's right - as part of your 30 day trial, or your subscription to the service, you will receive 100 free minutes of North American long distance every month. This was especially useful, as I was not making any local calls, and the long distance rates on my cell phone are not too reasonable at all. I think I would subscribe to the service for this feature alone.
To experience the same freedom and convenience, go ahead and register for a free trial of the service.

Ontario Hands Free Law – Quick Facts
Everyone in Ontario should now be well aware of the new hands free law prohibiting the use of hand-held wireless devices or electronics while in the drivers seat. The new law aims to diminish the use of mobile devices by users to place calls while driving, as well as compose text and email messages. Driver's are now only permitted to use these devices in a "hands free" capacity, meaning they must have a device or service that allows them to maintain both hands on the wheel at all times.
Here are some easy guidelines to be aware of:
- Cell phones must be accompanied with headsets, speakerphone or bluetooth accessories and / or services which enable hands free dialing
- Audio and GPS devices must be properly secured near or around the dashboard in plane view
- Users are permitted to push a button in order to activate the hands free function of the device
- 911 calls are the only kind permitted without a hands free assisted device or service
With the new law now in effect, Police will now be on the look out for those caught using these devices improperly. Awareness is a good first step to protecting yourself and obeying the law. Next, equip yourself with the proper tools that allow you to communicate safely and within the guidelines of the new law. If you already have a hands free device, than you may want to look into a full hands free solution, like Voice On The Go. The service is 100% compatible with any device and / or network. Simply call into your local access number, and begin dialing by voice, emailing by voice and sending text messages all by voice.

Remember to always drive safely and stay alert at all times. Better road safety is everyone's responsibility.
No More Texting While You Drive! – Hands Free Law Now In Full Effect.
Drivers all over Ontario were again reminded today of the new Hands Free law banning the use of handheld devices while driving.
As of today, February 1st, 2010, the law has gone into a new phase, where Police will now begin ticketing anyone caught using a cell phone or handheld device while behind the wheel. The average ticket will be around $150.00, but could reach as high as $500.00.
There is a serious emphasis on this issue, as Toronto has experienced a much higher rate of car related accidents in the first month of 2010.
Many people who spend longer hours behind the wheel of a vehicle, or who drive for a living, are re-visiting the various options available through hands free technology and devices. Many are considering bluetooth devices, which are a great start - but do not completely solve the issue of dialing numbers automatically. Services like voice on the go help to bridge this gap - in allowing users to dial by voice instead of using their hands. Voice On The Go takes productivity even further by allowing users to compose text based messages as well, such as SMS and email messages.
The CBC reported today that since the law first came into effect last October, Police have charged numerous people with distracted driving. They have noticed a decrease in drivers using their cellphones.
With heavy fines now in effect, it is likely that a good majority drivers will resign to not using their phones for the time being while in the car, without some kind of hands free solution. Those who seek to make better use of their time while on the road will learn to appreciate the many products and services which have responded to the growing trend of hands free legislation that is sweeping across North America.

Make Long Car Trips More Productive And Enjoyable
Although often tedious and not enjoyable, long car trips are usually one of those necessary things that cannot be avoided. Here are some tips for making your car trip more enjoyable, productive, and safe:
- Bring a CD of music or make a play list on your MP3 player and buy a cord that can attach your MP3 player to your car speaker system. Adjusting radio station controls while driving is one of the top accident causing distractions while driving, so it is better to listen a playlist or CD, and switch the playlists or CDs when stopped at gas stations.
- Have some work-related emails you need to send? Have some appointments you need to make? Safely get these tasks done while driving by using Voice on the Go. You can compose and listen to email just as easily as listening to the radio and singing along to your favorite song.
- Driving alone and you see interesting billboards and license plates but have no one to share these sightings with? With VOTG you can share these happening with friends through text, twitter, or facebook, all without having to take your hands off the wheel.
- Email yourself instructions to your destination and have VOTG read it out to you. This will save you from trying to read while driving or fighting to unfold a map while holding the steering wheel.
Have a fun and safe drive!
Mobile Productivity – Listen to Email While You Drive
Listen and respond to email by voice - with Voice On The Go.
I think the single worst thing about having a long commute every day is the amount of time that it takes just getting to the office. Listening to music or even educational material can be a good way to pass the time, but your day usually doesn't start until you can sit down at your desk in front of a computer. If you are like most busy professionals, you have probably uttered the phrase "there are just not enough minutes in the day" more than once. This is one of the reasons why Blackberry's have become so popular for business people. The convenience and flexibility of being able to access email without a computer has literally changed people's lives by allowing them to become much more efficient than they would be otherwise. Voice On The Go has taken this concept one step further, by allowing user's to access their email while they drive, without having to even use their hands. Imagine, being able to listen to emails, compose text messages and also dial numbers all by voice. This amazing hands free solution allows users to stay productive while on the road, in way that is both safe and legal.
For a long time, the Blackberry was seen as a tool that only business people used when they were traveling. Increasingly however, people from all walks of life began adopting the technology. In the same vein, more and more people are beginning to use hands free devices and services like Voice On The Go to communnicate while they are on the move.

Stay Productive and Safe While You Drive:
Voice On The Go is a powerful new voice solution that allows drivers to send texts and listen to emails with their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. There is nothing to download and nothing to install. It works on ANY cell phone, ANY handsfree device, and on ANY wireless network.
Productivity:
For some, this is a great business tool for staying productive while on the road. Many busy professionals spend between 1 and 3 hours on the road every work day! When you multiply that by an entire year (260 work days), that could amount to as much as 780 hours (which is the equivalent of 32 days). Just think of what you could do with that extra time! With the ability to listen and respond to emails, send text messages and update your calendar – all by voice – the busy professional can stay productive while he or she gets from A to B.
Safety:
Beyond productivity is the safety factor: Let's face it, trying to check your email or send a text message while you are driving isn't the safest thing in the world. Not only do you pose a risk to yourself and anyone travelling with you, but you could also endanger other drivers as well. With Voice On The Go, you can still send that text message or even check your email both safely and comfortably while you drive.
