Significant services come with the agreement, delivering substantial benefits to eWayDirect clients. The campaign preview allows users to see what campaigns will look like across primary ISPs, mail readers, and web browsers prior to delivery, allowing eWayDirect to pass information back to the client about creative and the visibility of calls to action. The reputation monitor and sender score tool help clients understand their email reputations and the factors contributing to those reputations by aggregating more than 60 different data elements from email receivers to compile a composite reputation score.

The mailbox monitor tracks inbox email deliverability by ISP and provides both summary and detail reporting. “Now every eWayDirect client knows exactly what is happening to their email,” says Rosen. “They know what was delivered, what wasn’t, and why.”

Finally, the blacklist alert continuously monitors all outbound mail server addresses and enables drilling down into exact causes and taking corrective actions.

There are several reasons why a person could be paying too much for home phone service – perhaps they didn’t shop around or they signed up for services that they really don’t use. Sometimes, because having a phone is a necessity in today’s day and age, people don’t realize that it is worthwhile to take some time to research their phone plan.

Below are some tips to better help consumers get a phone plan that meets their budget:

• Family Phone Habits – Folks need to pay attention to the times of day they use the phone and if they call long distance. Knowing what time of day and if they place long distance calls can allow them to choose a plan that has cheaper rates and best fits their lifestyle.
• Landline or Cell Phone – Perhaps having both is a necessity; remember that high-speed Internet and some home security systems need landline phone service to work.
• Research Phone Companies – Don’t just go with the first company that comes to mind as there is choice in many areas.
• Bundle Home Services – Cheaper prices are now available if consumers choose to have one company service their home with phone, high-speed Internet and cable.
