LG G8 ThinQ first look review: Despite silly gimmicks, it's an affordable flagship worth considering

The LG G8 ThinQ looks a lot like last year's G7 with some minor updates and a couple gimmicky unreliable functions. However, it is an affordable flagship at $620 and offers most of what we see on the more expensive Samsung Galaxy S10. from Updates & News https://www.zdnet.com/product/lg-g8-thinq/#ftag=RSSbaffb68

Looking for True 800 Toll-Free Numbers? We Have them!

True 800 Toll-Free numbers can be hard to come by due to their popularity. What’s more frustrating is that 800 vanity numbers (ex: 1-800-MYTELCO) can be even harder to find. Due to the lack of availability in 800 numbers, 888, 877, 866, and other area codes have been introduced over the past few years. These additional area codes provide a practical solution to the 800 number shortage, but that doesn’t mean the 800 numbers are any less desirable.

New Tax Exemption Tool In Time for Tax Day

Taxes aren't exciting. No one likes them, except for maybe accountants. But taxes are a necessary part of any business, and we've just released a new tool to make them more manageable. Our new Tax Exemption tool allows you to select the state(s) you wish to file in instead of receiving a zip file full of forms. Current customers can get to this tool right in their BackOffice account by going to Billing > Tax Exemptions. On this page, select Federal Tax Exemption, if you need it, choose your state(s), and then generate your forms. Once you get those forms, fill them out, and resubmit them. It's a straightforward process that's designed to make tax exemptions a little less of a headache for you.
