With 74% of people using mobile at work and cell phones outnumbering landlines 5 to 1, the idea of using only your cell phone for business doesn’t seem as crazy as it once did. Phones are better, service coverage is better and the lack of a pbx system can help cut down on business costs.

While the numbers certainly indicate a large number of people use their cell phones for work, we wanted to know how many of you were actually using them. Here’s what you had to say:

A new poll by Ipsos/Reuters says that one in five workers around the globe telecommutes. Even more impressive, 10% work from home every day. That’s a lot of people working away from the office!

Old school entrepreneurs maintained an office complete with a secretary and a cleaning service — an expense that modern entrepreneurs today know to be unnecessary. Although some business models require that kind of presentation, others can be just as successful without ever renting out a brick-and-mortar location.

You’ve just closed a great deal! Now everyone needs to shake hands with each other, stand in a circle, and chant a sacred hymn of prosperity.

Then again, maybe modern business isn’t exactly like ancient rituals. Even so, no one doubts the importance of being able to have a solid meeting. That’s why doing business in person is always the best choice. But when that involves expensive flights and other travel expenses, the cost-benefit analysis might look a little different.

Telecommuting sounds perfect in theory: work in your pajamas, watch reruns of Arrested Development on your lunch break, skip the pesky commute. What’s not to love?

Staples Inc. published a recent survey on telecommuting which found that 80% of the telecommuting workers surveyed say they now have a better work-life balance. The benefit to employers is that it can reduce overhead and increase productivity. And now even federal agencies are offering telework opportunities.
