ePhones

Concerned that the cranky associate you fired three months ago is running around with one of the firm's cell phones, and regularly calling Timbuktu? Tired of managing your complicated phone systems?

A new service from ePhones called the "Business Advantage Program" offers cellular, PCS, long distance, DSL Internet access and paging resources, combined with an asset tracking system.

The tracking system monitors which product is being used by an employee, it says. It can help firms manage and track telecommunication use, explains the company. The password-protected online tracking system monitors employee name, phone and pager number, manufacturer, model number, serial number, carrier, activation date and contract expiration date, ePhones explains. The company represents 43 carriers nationwide, it notes.
