I talked to my bank about the ability to take Credit cards from clients, The rate for occasional use is like 8% or something. Seems like alot to me. I belive Patty had mentioned something about having a pay pal account and having customers pay that way. ny insite would be appriciated.....

You can either have the funds transferred to a bank account, or get a PayPal debit card and use the funds that way. All they need is an email address and they can use PayPal. You can even send them an invoice through PayPal for free.

Pay Pal works great!

When I have one that "forgets" the check book... I hand 'em my Blackberry and have them pay with debit or credit.

The 2.9% hit is worth every penny.

I have been using Paypal for about three years now. I have some clients that pay primarily with paypal some that are occasional users. Either way it is a good option.

I get cash back on all purchases made with my paypal debit card so some of the fee is offset.

Phone with internet access, email, camera, video, mp3 player, "outlook" compatable calender(for your schedule), calculator, etc, etc, etc.

I can (and do) view digital xrays on it in a pinch and take video of horses. I started using the BB 2 years ago. I think I would be lost without it.

I should add that I can recieve email with attachments (like xrays) and download them immediately to my laptop in the truck when I need to have the images enlarged, editied or marked up.

Aint technology great??!!

This is great for me because I work with a number of lameness cases. but for those who don't get the opportunity to work on those types or with a vet/clinic I think any phone with a qwerty keyboard will do.

I am lucky to be able to have those opportunities.

I just upgraded to the BB storm and love it...I can view the xray and click to enlarge, and found out yestarday that I can transfer to the laptop without the cable because of blue tooth...that was kinda cool.
