Good morning NZ,

 

To be brief - I have been in the business of IT and Telecommunications for 25 years. Started off in tier 1 support while at university and transitioned into management roles after doing some project coordination (less magical than project management), database and billing administration, and strategic planning/projects. Now I live in NZ and I work for Hero Internet Ltd., although I did work at Vodafone pre-pandemic. 

 

I'm more than happy to act as a resource to answer questions, or I can refer you to one of our NZ partners in your area if you need more than free advice (always worth what you pay for it :-)). 

 

IT consultants - if you're interested in offering VOIP services to your customers - follow the link below.

DIY Heroes - we have a free trial that you can use to play with our service and see if it suits your needs.

Welcome to Geekzone!

 

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be more productive.

 

First, everyone follows the Forum Usage Guidelines (FUG). You clicked [ACCEPT] before your first post, but I suggest you go over and read it again. Any questions, ask away.

 

There are many features around this forum. If you want to get the best out of Geekzone, check our Geekzone Guide.

 

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums in a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.

We have a few accounts on Twitter and would love if you followed us: @geekz1. You can also use watch forums and topics or use our RSS feeds to keep on top of discussions. Check the menu items on top and bottom of all pages to find out more.

Lastly, just enjoy your time around here and I might even reply in another of your posts!

Kraven: Welcome, Roy! Really like using the Hero platform and can’t recommend you guys enough.

 

Thanks for the welcome! Glad to be on here officially. I've lurked on here before when looking for solutions or industry gossip. :-D 

 

 

 

Anyway, I'm the new guy on the Hero team, but I'm already a big fan of how the platform works, and even more importantly - the company itself.
