The schools are about to break up, and it’s nearly time to head off for more reliable sunshine than Scotland offers.

We reckon it’s got to be good for body and soul to forget all about business once in a while – but if you really want to keep in touch from the beach, can we ask you to let us know your plans two weeks before you go rather than two days?

Delivering your email fully synchronised to whatever you gadget you use and wherever you want to go is not too difficult these days but to set it up we need to deal with phone companies who move at their own speed and no-one can make things happen any more quickly.

The more notice the better please – and remember to send us a postcard!

Most email systems are not geared up for sending masses of emails out, and what we find is our clients call us the following day to report that they are having problems sending email. We check in to their server and find there’s a backlog of several hundred messages all waiting to go.

Speak to us beforehand and we can advise the best way to do this, before you break your email!

We have found on a few occasions that clients have come to us with such a device they have bought in store and would like their work emails configured. Whilst the “man in the shop” may have sold this feature to you, your new device or in fact your company email system may not support this.

If you are considering upgrading your phone why not contact Waverley Lane first? We have configured many different smart-phones  will be more than happy to offer you our advice on which device best meets your needs, and then help you with setting this device up if required!

You can have your whole life in the palm of your hand, until you leave it in the pub.

Found this on the Blackberry blog about keeping your information safe to start with, and what to do if you mislay it.

I’d emphasise the comment “call your IT company first” – if your device is synchronising with your server we can remotely wipe your information from it if it’s still connected, but not after you’ve asked Vodafone to put a stop on your account.

Call us first; we’ll remotely wipe your data from the missing device; then you (or we) can call the provider and get your service stopped until you get a new SIM card and device (which, if you’re with our Vodafone partner, might even be the same day).
