I usually reboot and then if I don't see anyone else posting about it I figure it is probably my internet. Totally impatient person here, especially with all the stuff we all need to do around the holidays.

Anyone ever hear of Rural Transcription Company
Is there actually a company named Rural Transcription?
I thought she was trying to say that she lives in a rural area and has to do transcription at home because there are no local in-house jobs. I didn't think she was badmouthing a particular company by name...
Am I missing something?
With any company that uses a C-phone you will need ULD.
call the phone company
and tell them they are, in fact, harassing you and ask them how to block their calls. That would seem to be a better way to handle it.
Rural WV
This is true - mail out of here is sometimes hellish. We do offer PayPal as well as Priority Mail too, for what it's worth. :)
Please drop me an email and let me know who you are and what your angering somebody experience was.
My email and phone are always open to everybody.
Camp Fire Girl's honor. :)

the company sets the keys - ask your job. It is not the phone.
I have worked on several accounts via C-phone and each acocunt had it set their own way - similar - but not exact. Companies can calibrate each gal differently as well such as not being able to skip jobs, among other things.
ask you supervisor.
company-paid phone bill?? sm
Crazy question, have high speed internet and AOL for my mail. I do not have unlimited long distance. Is there any company for whom you would not run up a huge phone charge, could not do that! Crazy question, I know - but doesn't hurt to ask.
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I use to work for this company full-time. I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............
Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check. I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........
Feedback please. I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........
For a small rural hospital
I get paid $1.25 a minute of dictation for all transcription including radiology.
Rural Transcription Services
This is a TRUE company out of Iowa...so I assume she was talking about this company. Google it and it will come up with several hits.
Rural Transcription is not a MEDICAL sm
word and not important to me! You are wanting to argue for arguments sake now! Ridiculous.
I live in a rural area and all we have are the
ER docs and lab and x-ray techs. Others are on call for emergencies but that is about it.
The Indians didn't get a raise, but I'll bet the CEO of the phone company did!! nm

Rural Transcription is the pits! My boss has some
serious mental problems. Wish I didn't have to work from home (have kids). Otherwise I'd be long gone.
I live in a very small rural area
with only 1 major hospital that has its own in-house MTs. The doctors in this area are employed by this hospital so their dictation is done there, as well. There may be a handful that are private but it would mean picking up tapes and taking hard copies back. I live 6 miles from town in the mountains and winters here get nasty with ice/snow. Thanks, though, for trying to help. I appreciate the support!
I am in exactly the same boat, 10 miles from small rural town, don't know any local
MTs even after 12 years in this community. I need to find something with decent pay and the same kind of flexible scheduling. I too had planned to stay with MDI through retirement and this has really thrown me for a loop. I would just look for a new career right now if not for the fact my kids are still young enough that I would like to still be at home/available, especially when one has a chronic illness and his needs can change on a dime.
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line
nn
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.
http://shop.dictaphone.com/productDetail.asp?id=27
I do use a C-phone, but...
The program that we type into is web-based and is the absolute best I've ever used, because it's so simple and fast. My C-phone is hooked up to my DSL via Vonage www.vonage.com, so I pay $27 a month long distance. I think there are some accounts, however, that actually use a .wav pedal. I just don't happen to be on those accounts.
Does anyone have DSL and use a C-phone? - sm
I need to know if you are on-line (DSL) and working on your C-phone (same line), does call waiting still work?
Thanks.
Do you have a phone #
for this company or know how they are listed in the phonebook?
C phone
Just wanted general information on C phones-- how they work etc. I am losing my mind, I did not mean info on Accustat, WI
C-phone
Accustat wants me to switch over and I have no idea how one works. I really like this company too
Yep, C-phone...
both accounts (I switch between 2, both use C-phone).
C-phone
Thanks. I think that I will go ahead and get one so that I can switch over. I was wondering about the phone like-- thanks for clearing that up. Can't afford a new one so I think I am going to try Ebay.
You need a C-phone but...
other than that, they are great. Very organized, helpful, and they pay on time!
C-phone
To my knowledge, a C-phone and a Dictaphone are one in the same,
I have a c-phone
.
C-phone
A C-phone is short for connection phone. It looks just like a regular telephone only bigger. It has ports to plug in a headset and footpedal. It also has a regular receiver that you can use to call out, just like a plain phone. When you are given a C-phone account, you dial the number you are given, perhaps enter a PIN or ID# and
depending on the account, listen to the prompt for further data. Then you simply press the foot pedal and start typing. It also has 16 memory spots to program frequently dialed numbers. It also has to be programmed (by you) for the headset, etc, which isn't hard. Personally, I prefer a C-phone account. They are nice to use.
You will own the C phone
No, after 2 payments of $50 you will own it and do not ever have to send it back. They are a great company.
C-phone
If you have to buy a C-phone from them, it is only $100, and they will take two payments of $50 out of 2 checks. I was lucky and got an account that didn't use a C-phone, though. They are very willing to work with you and if you request an account that doesn't use a C-phone, they are generally very accommodating.
c-phone
Good Morning, I am trying to use a C-phone, can dial in, hear reports, but foot pedal is not working. It is connected. Is there something I am supposed to do other than that? Thanks to all.
C-phone
I got my C-phone on ebay for $120, so opted to go that route instead of renting.

I pay $30 for local and unlimited long distance through my cable company. You have to watch out on those unlimited long distance plans that most phone companies use. If you look in the fine print they usually are really unlimited and they will kick you off if you use too much. Cable phone has been good so far and I have used Vonage in the past, too, and didn't have any problems.
If you are going to be using a C-phone you will need
unlimited long distance. I would suggest checking into your options now. AT&T offers unlimited long distance but it is not unlimited and has a limit of 5000 minutes, which is half of what you will need.
It's not a c-phone
It is a lanier. I have used a C-phone and sound quality was not as bad as this.
C-phone
The best C-phone is a Lanier. I was on other copies but the best Cphone has always been a Lanier.
C-phone
My C-phone is programmed for 2222 to slow down, 3333 to speed up, 6 to replay header, 8 to sign off job. If this doesn't work for you, call your super and ask for help in reprogramming the phone. Good luck!
KS-C-phone
Keystrokes still uses C-phones. I use one every day.
A phone with SGS
was enough to make me run. The person on the phone used such poor English, poor grammar and was rude on top of it. Not for me!
C-phone
I recently applied to Keystrokes. They have open positions but require a C-phone which I don't have. I went to E-bay and see many different kinds. Which kind do I need? TIA.
C-phone
Can anyone tell me exactly what a C-phone is or does?
Oh, I would be on the phone all right!!
Every single time I ran out of work - even if my line count was close to the required. I would ask for work BEFORE they charged me! Would drive your point home I think.

K&R Consulting -
Do you have to use a C-phone
to work for them? Seems like I remember that from an ad a long time ago, but not sure. Thanks! Do they have an ad up somewhere for MTs?
You can rent a C-phone from them. sm
I'm not sure about a computer rental. If your account is not on wav files, you'll have to pay long distance. There are a lot of flat rate plans through many companies.
You can't access the patient's old files through Bayscribe.
Pay is anywhere from 9 to 11 cpl.
Great place to work!
Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
