  • google voice – One phone number, online voicemail, and enhanced call features

    Posted on July 17th, 2009 Dimakh 1 comment

    Google voice service is all set to be launched and take the internet telephony by storm. Google will now allow one number for all your calls and SMS. so no need of multiple phones and tracking for home, office and mobile. This service is provided by google free of cost and its the old GrandCentral, which google acquired in July of 2007 and is now providing the service free of cost. Google Voice is currently available by invite only . Get an Invite if you are interested in getting an invite for google voice. Please note that Google Voice is only available for sign up in the US. read more about google voice and its features from here.

    One number for all your calls and SMS

    Will we get this feature in India ? will we get google voice in India.  It would be worth the wait and I am sure telecom players like reliance, airtel, tata indicom would be gearing up for this.

    But this would be a good solution for Indian software companies and entrepreneurs in Indian cities like pune, bangalore, delhi etc to use this service to virtually stay in USA and get a mobile identity. SO for those who are doing international business and are looking for setting up office in USA, this would be a great help. But you many not be able to eliminate phone services providers like vonage, skype etc as you would still need a US number to use this google service.

    The Google voice is set to launch in the month of July in USA.

    A secure and safe payment gateway used for credit card processing is necessary for any e-commerce based website which allows payment transaction to buy and sell goods, products or services online. “Electronic commerce” means, The transaction of buying and selling of good and services through digital medium.

    E-commerce websites should offer their customers, a payment option that is safe, convenient and widely accepted. The choice of establishing the right online payment system depends upon the company, its products or services and its customers. Many payment gateway service providers sell different packages of payment processing services to web site owners that allow them to accept different types of payments.

    The payment modes that are offered by different e-commerce based websites are payments using credit cards , credit card fax back service, Telegraphic transfers, Netbanking using ECS , cheque/DD for India, Direct bank transfer, paymate within India, paypal across the world, cash cards etc. But by far its best to go in with a reliable payment gateway service provider called as credit card merchant service providers who offer different options in a single window and allow safe and secure transactions. The offer processing for visa credit cards, master credit cards, American Express and all other credit card banking services.

    Before you select a payment gateway first try to get details for all the costs associated with the payment gateway service provider. Each payment gateway offers variable costs and transactional charges.

    The different costs associated with Internet merchant account are :

    Up Front Application Fees
    Many Internet Merchant Accounts will require an up front application fee. This fee, supposedly, is to cover their costs for processing your application. But with gorwing competition, most of the companies now waive off this front application fee.

    On Going Fixed Fee
    This is a fixed monthly fee that you have to pay to the service providers irrespective of any transactions that you do over your website. Many a times a flat fee of $25 is charged on your account.

    Fixed Transaction fee
    Usually between $0.20 and $0.45, the fixed transaction fee is the fixed fee portion of each sale. The fixed transaction fee is the same for every transaction. Whether you get a $1 sale or a $100 sale, the transaction fee will be the same.

    Variable Transaction Fee
    The variable transaction fee is the amount that you pay to the merchant for every transaction that happens on your website. This transaction fee may vary between 2% to 5%. The percentage is dependent on the monthly volume that you do through your website.

    Termination Fees
    A termination fee is applicable if you discontinue the contract before the stipulated time. The minimum contract period may vary from one year to three years.

    Miscellaneous Fees
    A charge back fee may be applicable if a customer requests for a refund and if he wants his credit card to be credited. The merchant will charge a separate fee for this.

    If you are developing an ecommerce based website and want to activate a online payment option for your website then you must be having questions like :-
    Which is the best payment gateway for me? or
    how to integrate credit card processing on my website or
    what are the online payment options , can I do a bank transfer or Cash On Delivery – COD.
    What are the online payment gateway options for India and can we have multiple currency options on my website. Can I use a debit card to make online payment or can I accept debit cards online.

    Please read the next blog posting to know more about using payment gateway to accept payments online in India and world wide. I will also cover comparison of different payment gateway vendors. You can also  send an email to sales@dimakhconsultants.com for more details.

  • Mumbai Indians – The IPL cricket team for 2009 Season2

    Mumbai Indians – The IPL Cricket team

    The Mumbai Indians team represents the Mumbai city with all its qualities of a dream team just like Mumbai – The dream city. The team is led by its very own Mumbaikar – none other than The Master Blaster – Sachin Tendulkar himself. The team is backed by the business super power Reliance Industries – Mukesh Ambani and Neeta Ambani. 

    Mumbai Indians IPL T20

     

    Coach: Praveen Amre
    Captain: Sachin Tendulkar
    Owner: Mukesh Ambani (Reliance Industries Limited) 
    Franchise Fee: USD 111.9 Million
    *Total Revenues (2008): 69 
    *Total Expenses (2008): 85 
    *Net Loss (2008): -16 
    * Figures are in Indian Rupees crores, Source: Wiki

    Team Sponsors: MasterCard, Royal Stag, Kingfisher, Pepsi, Adidas

    The Mumbai Indians was the most expensive side of the Indian Premier League for the season 1 , IPLT20 2008 and 2009. The team comprises of cricket heavy weights like Sanath jayasuriya, Zaheer Khan, Swayne Bravo, Harbhana Singh, Laisth Malinga, Dilhara Fernando etc. But it also has a good list of upcoming start players like Abhishek Nayar.

    AboutMumbai Indians  From The IPL official website www.iplt20.com

    About Mumbai Indians

     

    It was a low-key team with most injuries and controversies in DLF-IPL1. But now the team looks settled, the skipper’s back with a new staff and some key replenishments. The strength of the side still lies in the top-order, but a few new strikers, plus Sri Lanka’s fit slinger Lasith Malinga could provide the best hope for Mumbai Indians in DLF-IPL2.

    Captain-coach combination: When Sachin Tendulkar is the captain, he is very much in charge. So the role of Shaun Pollock has been re-defined a bit. He becomes the chief mentor and alongwith fielding coach Jonty Rhodes expect him to turn things around for Mumbai Indians. If Tendulkar needs more help about South African conditions, then he has a former pro in those parts, Praveen Amre to look after the nitty gritties.

    Star player: Sachin Tendulkar.

    Last year’s record: Played 14, Won 7, Lost 7
