Vonage.

Go with Vonage
I have had them for many many years and I hardly ever have a problem. It is worth the 27.99 a month! You just need DSL or Cable internet service. They have many features and offer free long distance in Canada and the U.S. I use the phone for many many hours each month and they never complain or try to limit my usage.
Use Vonage.....
www.vonage.com It's voice-over-IP and you pay about $29 a month for unlimited long distance. I used it with MDI's system for a long time.
Vonage
Vonage is great BUT after a couple of years they notified me that I had to upgrade to a business line. But after chcking with the other companies in the area I found that they were still a HUGE savings so now I pay about $50 a month for an unlimited business line.
Vonage
I used Vonage for about a year on a C-phone account with MDI-MD until it switched to a web account. It always worked just fine for me. Vonage just seems to work fine for some people nad not for others, so MDI was probably just warning her it wasn't guaranteed to work.

I have used Vonage for quite sometime now, I had the residential plan for unlimited long distance and last year I got message saying that they were switching my residential account to Business account( about $20 or $25 more) because they looked at my actual use of the line and knew that it was business related so be aware of this. It is still much cheaper though.
Vonage
I have had Vonage for the past 2 years, unlimited long distance, never got a letter about residential or business use. 
I had Vonage.....
and the same thing happened to me. If you are on there for 4 STRAIGHT hours, it will disconnect you. I would just watch the clock and hang up before the 4 hours was up. Good luck! I changed companies because I wasn't willing to pay extra for Vonage.
Go to Vonage
It really is unlimited, its through your internet, and it's also a heck of a lot cheaper than AT&T's business plan. I know because I have them, kept my same plan with them but added Vonage long distance with their router.
Vonage
Have used Vonage for almost 2 years and it really works for me....cheaper phone bill....unlimited long distance, etc...
Vonage
Is anyone else having a problem with their foot pedal. This just started about an hour ago.
Yes - Vonage (sm)
I have been using Vonage with C-phone too for months and it works great. I got the $50.00 unlimted plan - and unlike AT&T and some others, it is TRULY UNLIMITED. Hope this helps!

I have Vonage they are great
Vonage won't work with many (sm)
MT set-ups, like C-phone or Lanier. Onesuite.com worked for me -- also got free fax service with it.
So if not Vonage-What else does everyone use with their C-phone?
I really have no idea what is left!
Vonage was misleading
First let me say I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!! I was one of those who used my LOCAL company, then they found out I was abusing the plan. I switched to Vonage. I was upfront with them that I used the line for DATA. They STILL signed me up for the residential plan ($24.95/month). Then, same thing, about a month into that, I received call from Vonage saying I was abusing the plan and I must be switched to Business Plan (I think it's $49.99/month). I STILL LOVE MY JOB but this disconnection is a ROYAL PAIN. I guess if there is no way around it, I'll just grin and bear it. I have worked for MANY other companies and have NEVER been as satisfied as I am with Keystrokes! So, I guess the inconvenience will STILL be worth it in the long run..........
Vonage is good......but not if you have
With high speed internet, it is clear as anything and very cheap at about $25 a month and the first 3 months are free and the equipment is free. Good luck!
vonage is compatible with 911 - you just have to set it up - nm

oh my gosh, im so sorry.. please see msg
i was talking about northeast transcription.
assistmed pays 7 cpl without spaces, headings, or template headings already in the report.
sorry about that
my gosh!
All of us know that losing the jobs with Heartland is not solely AAMTs fault, however, Peter, who was past president and now executive director, is still going over to India to tell them they have to improve their quality. We all think that the money would be better spent educating the general public as to where their social security numbers are ending up, and also help the entry-level MTs get jobs. At this point, the AAMT is supporting off shore, and we are supposed to just get used to it as a fact of life. That's what they want but for me, it will not happen without quite a few emails going to the congress people, and also educating whomever I come in contact with that they need to ask their physician to NOT have their reports transcribed offshore. So far, my friends and neighbors are shocked that their information might be going offshore. You also have to give some wiggle room (which you did not) for those MTs who were just starting out and were hired by Heartland. For them, they wanted an opportunity, got it with Heartland, and then got laid off. From what I have heard, they are grateful for the experience they did get. Entry-level MTs have to take a job where they can get it, Indian or not, just for some experience. No one is blaming AAMT, but I for one will not support them any longer as the money I pay per year is most definitely going to be the thing to put me out of a job eventually. May as well keep it in my pocket and invest it yearly. I'd be better off, and so would everyone else. Mind you, I've been a member for 12 years. If I had saved that money and invested it, I'd be sitting pretty good right now. Instead, it is helping pay for AAMT to support offshoring. That's the beef.
Oh gosh - just tell her you don't know
Oh my gosh...
thanks, I really didn't even think about that.
WELL, GOSH, GEE, DUH
You're right. I feel so stupid. But, is that all there is to it? It's sad that now we not only have to worry about work going overseas, but we have to be on the lookout for work that goes over and bounces back, with additional cuts in pay in order to share the profits, thanks to the participation and cooperation of American companies acting as go-betweens.
oh gosh you ARE new
We'll be waitin to hear from you on the flip side in a couple months. Make sure you always use the same name - I love to compare those a couple bumpy months down the road.
Oh, my gosh
You should go back and check your sources...
Gosh, I wish I could get ops. I wonder how one gets them.
And I CAN do ops. I NEVER get them. Ticks me off.
Oh my gosh...
Seriously, my heart goes out to the 27 MTs that were terminated today and the rest who are possibly facing termination.
The entire country is in such a downward financial spiral right now that any of us could fall victim to a round of layoffs no matter by which MTSO we are employed.
I wish each and every one of you the best of luck in finding another home as quickly as humanly possible.
***HUGS TO MY FELLOW MTs***
Vonage residential - staying away from anything

Vonage told me they don't allow MTs anymore.
Anyone currently using Vonage to MT will most likely end up getting the boot once they figure it out. It's only a matter of time.
Vonage, but also have regular ULD as a backup
I spent about $45 a month for the 2 combined, both residential plans. If I use my ULD (through Qwest) I'm careful how much I'm using so I don't red flag their system. I haven't had any problem with Vonage for the 2 months I've been there and using it heavy. I talked to a couple of other people who have used Vonage really heavy for 1-2 years and haven't had a problem, so I decided to go with that. I only picked up the Qwest ULD recently because my Vonage box malfunctioned and I didn't have any long distance for 3 days until I got a new one, so like I said, the Qwest ULD is now a backup.
Be careful with Vonage. My friend uses
I tried using their modem, I no longer had any internet access. Called Vonage and they said they never had this problem before, but they hadn't worked out all the bugs yet. All 3 of my computers would not work. Had to call my DSL tech department and it took all day long to finally get back on line. Somehow Vonage fouled up our IP address in cyberspace. So I lost a day's worth of typing because of trying to use Vonage. This is very recent, only a week ago.
Vonage, but I know it doesn't work well everywhere (nm)

Vonage wouldn't work well enough. I'm in MI if that
helps.
If you do decide to go with Vonage, WARNING: (sm)
Make sure the person who is taking your order understands and speaks coherent English. I called on 2 separate occasions to open an account, and both times the customer service representative repeated my credit card number INCORRECTLY to me. This made me very uncomfortable as far as their competency.
Additionally, after these occurrences, I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor or manager and was told that he is in a meeting now and that there was no one else of higher authority that I could speak with. The call ended by the customer service rep asking me to call back later. What a hoot! Yea right buddy. NOT!!!!
I have had Vonage for over a year now and love it.sm
Why hassle with phone calls when you can order it all online at Vonage.com? That's what I did and had no problems. I sympathize, though. I hate when I call and get misinformation, put on hold forever, or some other aggravation.
I had Vonage Friday of last week and
I work for MDI and use Charter. I don't know if my problem was with the cable or with Vonage, but I would be at the end of a job and the Vonage phone would just cut out...sometimes staying connected, just not operational for a little bit (30-60 seconds), or worse, it would just cut off and I lost the job. The job got stuck in never-never land and I could not get it back to finish transcribing it. One job cost me almost 100 lines. So, on Tuesday I got Charter's ULD...the independent sales rep gave it to me for $15/month.
Vonage - 7:00 a.m. central time (sm)
I just tried mine - and it is working fine. Just wanted to let you know...Hope you get yours worked out. I'll check back here in a while to see if I can do anything to help you. (I had the Magic Jack when its pedal SUDDENLY stopped working a few weeks ago and changed to Vonage. I has worked great since...
Gosh, sorry to hear that. nm
My gosh!! Where do you work?...sm
You have a great job!
gosh! idiots!
heehee :0)
Gosh, you are so lucky
You are so lucky to be able to just use the ALT-K option! I have to use the CTL-arrow keys and follow along word for word, because I have such poor draft quality reports that come through. I end up changing nearly every other word, adding punctuation, deleting words, deleting punctuation, etc. I know it actually takes me more time to edit all the mistakes in the VR report than it would to just type it. It basically just types out a bunch of nonsense. I sure hope it gets better, but I have my doubts as long as I've been doing it now. I'm glad you are having luck with it though!
Gosh! You mean ''we may ALREADY be
x
Vonage uses your DSL high-speed lines.
Doesn't affect your local service at all and won't replace it, either. It's the same concept as having your DSL and regular phone service.
Starting to panic about using Vonage for LD - need opinions
Thought I was a happy camper waiting for my phone adapter to arrive with my problems for LD solved, ready to give my 2 week notice to MQ - then I found print outs I had from searching for a carrier one other tmie & found one where a bunch of girls using it ended up being knocked off of it too. I'm really starting to panic. I have SBC and know all the problems people have had with it - so that's out. If you're using Vonage - how long have been using it ? Any problems ? I tried e-mailing them and got a stupid "canned text" message back. I really think I'm having a nervous breakdown here and need some suggestions and/or opinions on this.
I tried Vonage a while back, but I didn't think it worked very well at all and got rid of it.

Vonage works just fine with my C-phone
and Lanier. I have had it over a year now and have had no problems at all.
We dumped regular landline and got Vonage
HUMUNGUS savings! You can get unlimited long distance for $25.00, and if you call other people who have Vonage, no charge at all.
My gosh!! What is wrong with you people?!?!
READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED ALREADY!!!
That song is .. oh gosh, don't laugh
from Soundgarden and it's called Outshined. Early 90s, late 80s, I suppose, but I love that line!!
Oh my gosh! No way! Diskriter made MQ
look nice, kind, and organized! Yes, I worked there and it was horrible - horribly run, horrible management, no organization - sounds like MQ! No thanks.
