Why is it when we Transcriptionist send you an e-mail asking asking for a backup account when the work has run out....You don't send a reply.... but as soon as the work builds up and you're out of turn-around-time, we are swamped with e-mails.  It would seem common courtesy to send a reply, whether it is a negative response or not.   I have experienced this with more than one company.

Just need to vent this morning, as I am out of work.  Nothing else to do.

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.

Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.

Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.

Good luck to you.

Does anyone care to share any opinions on either of these companies? 

Thanks in Advance!!

You can get unlimited LD for $24.95 with no additional charges, no limit to US, Canada, and Puerto Rico, free if you refer 3.  If you want information, email me.   

Base rate is $49.95, plus taxes and what-not.  I explained to them when I signed up that I was using it to access dictation files from a hospital, and after talking with a manager, they told me it was okay, that my account would probably still be flagged for high usage, but they would note it on the account ... whew! 

I have also used The Neighborhood in the past by MCI (www.theneighborhood.com) and they assured me that unlimited meant unlimited ... no matter what you use it for.

Good luck!

I also currently work for this company and verify that they just informed us (3/18/08) that they were cutting our compensation by 10%.  They have bounced paychecks, convieniently not mailed out checks, lost checks.  I am not planning on staying on and do not recommend working for this company. 

I use Verizon Freedom Unlimited LD service.  I use approximately 8 hours, 5 days a week to transcribe.  I'm wondering if anyone who has had this service for quite awhile has had any problems with them, meaning Verizon not wanting to cover your usage or sending a large, unexpected bill? 

As many of you have experienced, my ULD carrier has said no more calling to my work numbers.  Personal use only.  Seems everyone has set a limit of 5000 minutes or no medical transcribing...some type of limitation so I could not quality to use them.  Or as Qwest has done, stopped offering ULD. I know some of you have had problems and I am wondering what companies you have found or what solutions.  I need advise ASAP.  I really would appreciate anyone with a solution.  I have heard of Vonage, but never used that type of calling?  Can anyone tell me if that would work.  Thank you for any help you can give me.
