I finally bit the bullet and got NBN connected. Here's what happened next ...

Picture
I have to admit to being quite phobic about making any changes when it comes to Telstra and my internet service.

Every time I have made a change, it has resulted in lengthy followup calls to resolve issues and errors.

So I have been delaying making the switch to NBN at home. We already had a fast cable connection (100mbps), so we were not expecting to benefit greatly from a faster service by switching - although the upload speed IS significantly faster on NBN.

Our hesitation has also been because we have found that the cable service is still suffering constant and lengthy outages - usually attributable to an NBN outage - so we were not instilled with any confidence about switching.

A few weeks ago, we received a letter from NBN saying that we needed to switch within the next 6 months.

So, I bit the proverbial bullet, called Telstra and placed my order for NBN. (We stayed with Telstra because we are currently half-way through a 24-month contract.)

If you get a text requesting emergency help ...

Picture
A scam that is 'doing the rounds' is one that my husband received a few weeks ago. He got a text in the middle of the night requesting urgent help, from a number that he didn't recognise. Thinking it might be from his elderly parents or someone texting on their behalf, he called the number when he saw it first thing the next day.

A handy app for tracking your KM's for business

Picture
If, like me, you operate a business in which you clock up quite a few business km's, it is important to be able to track those kms's - so that you can claim them from your business or through your tax return. With a reimbursement of .68c/km, it is well worth ensuring that you keep a log of these k's.

Maintaining a manual log book, however, is an absolute pain. But there is an easier way!

As with so many things, there is an app for that.

Outlook is stuck on 'Send/Receive' - and crashes on re-start

Picture
In our 24 hours of seeing 3 different clients with email 'sending' issues, the third client's issue was with Outlook for Windows on his new Windows computer.

He was unable to send any emails from his Bigpond account - even though his Gmail account was working. A call to Microsoft Support had failed to resolve his issue.

My Bigpond emails won't send from my iPhone due to a 'relaying' error

Picture
A client at iTandCoffee today had a puzzling error on her iPhone that was preventing her from sending any emails from her Bigpond email account.

The error she started getting only a few days earlier was 'The recipient "recipient-email-address" was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying'.

Why am I getting this message from Google? Is it legitimate?

Picture
I, like many iTandCoffee clients who have contacted me, received an email from Google+ yesterday - as shown in the image above.

The questions I have been asked are "Is it legitimate?", "What is Google+", "Do I have this Google+' and "What should I do?".

​Here are some answers.
