> Simple and Easy to Use

The Messagepoint system is simplicity itself and no special knowledge is required to be able to make full use of it. You do not even need to be computer literate, as there are so many available methods of message retrieval available - you don’t have to collect your messages via computer if you would prefer not to. However, many users do choose computer collection, and to help you Messagepoint has a computer support line should you encounter any difficulties along the way. With all the features available it’s much cheaper to get Messagepoint to run your office than to employ your own staff.

>Savings on computer Hardware

With Messagepoint you will experience massive savings on hardware. For instance, it's not necessary to have your own computer to utilize the Internet medium when Messagepoint can take all types of message and deliver them to you in the manner of your choice. You do not have to have your own Internet connection, or extra telephone lines to support it, nor be faced with the associated high telephone costs. There are so many collection methods available. Email and web site response messages can be delivered straight to your fax machine or telephone if you prefer, so no computer is necessary. You'll also find those extra phone lines and answering machines a thing of the past.

>Savings on Computer Equipment

Get rid of your fax machine by using Messagepoint instead! Use one of our fax numbers in major cities around the world and you can receive faxes in any format you wish... perhaps you'd like them emailed to you, or posted to the Messagepoint web site? You'll have no more expensive purchases or upgrades of machinery, no need to buy paper and toner refills, no more maintenance costs, no more insurance fees... and no more high telephone bills! The answering machine is a thing of the past. Personalized phone answering in your company name ensures callers are dealt with professionally and efficiently, and that messages are sent to you wherever you are, not where your answering machine is. And there will be no more missed messages because the fax machine ran out of paper, the answering machine tape was full, or the caller was simply 'machine-shy'.

>Work When you Want To

With Messagepoint your messages are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from any location. One of the benefits of home working is that you can work around your own time patterns - Messagepoint compliments this by being so readily available for you whatever time of day.
