In Reply to: Obviously this isnt DQS because you cant get in without a password. You must be on C phone yet. On - MQMT
Yes I am on C-phone which allowed me to get into the system using another number. Obviously, I hung up immediately after finding out what was happening, but there was no other way to know.

Correct phone number - 580-335-7503 Detective Rodriguez nm
I was so mad I posted the wrong number!
Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 
I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as
xx
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM
Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone? Is there a problem with my C-phone? At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company. They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.
It's driving me batty!
C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone. Can someone help me understand exactly how this works? Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get. I guess I should contact my phone company. At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone
through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?
We only have one phone line. I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones. I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone. I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report.
I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie.
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
C-phone and phone line
I have cable for my Internet so I have my C-phone on my regular home phone line and forward my home phone number to my cell phone.
A c-phone is just a phone, with headphones sm
and a foot pedal. You call into a number (hopefully 800 number), put in your codes, and a voice file comes on. You use the headphones and the foot pedal, and transcribe on your computer into a word processing program, then send the finished file back per their directions.
The c-phone is not connected to the internet in any way. There is no downloading involved. It is just a phone by means of which you get your voice files. It needs a phone line and you stay on the line the entire time.
c-phone from cell phone
I believe if you check with your cell phone carrier they have an adapter that you can use to plug into your cell phone from the c-phone. Not sure about this but I think I had a friend tell me she had to do this but it was a year or so ago. Hope this helps.
It connects via phone like, just like a C-phone.
I have an old actual C-phone phone if that is what you mean, (sm)
not the newer kind that connects to a computer. I don't know if yours is programmed the same, but mine shows 8 to decrease and 9 to increase. Hope this helps.
C-phone and phone plans....
I have a company that I have recently hired on with that uses c-phones. At home I have an unlimited long distance plan, but I'm wondering if while traveling there is a plan that you can get in order to use a c-phone in a motel, relative's homes, etc. I like to be able to still work while traveling and I feel this is going to limit me. Any suggestions or ideas?
Digital phone/C-phone
Does anyone use a C-phone with digital phone service? Does this work out okay?
okay, you are correct of course, except
The below posters are correct, of course. I called my boss and they said, "No, this would PROBABLY be against the privacy laws." About the 'Googling" of names, however, the only reason I have been Googling names is because the doctors won't SPELL THEM OUT, and my accounts are not 'searchable'. I do not use any info besides just the name...no SS #... if I find a Verbatio Kertalino (not a real name)in Google in the correct city, I can be pretty darn sure this is the correct person. If there is any specific reason I should not do this, I will stop, but I do not think so! If you posters are pretty SURE this is not ethical, I will call my boss and ask about that also! I use Google also, of course, to look up the spellings of local businesses and hospital and clinic names that they do not spell out. Otherwise, every single report would go to QA! And, if you can't post in a courteous manner, please do not bother posting at all!
That is correct
Any useful tips that a QA member can provide an MT is great. Expansions, websites, etc. If I fill in a blank, I would be apt to send an MT a link to go along with it where she can find it and bookmark it for later use.
5 gm is the correct way nm

You are very correct...
and it IS bad, but ya know something? I'm thinking that even we poor MQer's have it made compared to those in New Orleans. I know I finding myself b******* a lot less these days (rare for me lol!). Just my 2 cents (which you're right about - that will soon be the going rate at MQ lol)....
whether to correct
I certainly do correct. I've had them mention hysterectomies in males and such.
Let me correct something here
I agree with you that there is something wrong with having NO WORK. Keep in mind though, that a lot of these people were complaining just for the mere fact that they had several accounts and couldn't remember all the client specifics and not because they were out of work!
you are probably correct
The poor thing obviously has some serious issues.
That is correct.
nm
Correct way
BOS 2 says 10 to the 5th
She may be correct
She was probably speaking of 1% of the TOTAL JOBS through the U.S., not merely the segment of MT. She might also have sidestepped those with Green Cards who are working in this country. You see that with programming positions. And then there's that segment of jobs that people in this country don't want to do (i.e. scrubbing toilets), so the illegal aliens do that.
Look at the forest rather than the tree.
this is correct; nm

What is the correct way?
Being a nurse I have always charted/documented carcinoma in situ as CIN-I, CIN-II, CIN-III, etc. Is this the same way when transcribing reports? I know it was this way at one time but now with the change in the numbers rule per AAMT would we now transcribe this as CIN-1, CIN-2, CIN-3, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Tabatha
Which is correct?
Med-Surg Floor, med-surg floor, etc. Thanks
You are correct.
First shift would be considered daytime, second would be evening and third would be the graveyard shift (mine) that is midnight to morning.
if I'm correct
This would happen ONLY if the company you work for pays unemployment tax. If they don't, you're up that well-known creek.
But the best people to answer that question would be the Labor Board.
you are correct. I should have said sm
2-5 years in an acute care setting with a hospital who knows what they are doing! haha.
I don't really know the answers to all of these problems BUT I do know that I don't have time to argue with an "experienced" MT nor do I have time to train one.
You have some great points!
You can correct this now by...sm
buying the Wireless-G router that has a booster. We did this for the PC that is farthest from the PC that has the main router on it and now that PC is as fast as the main one on its wireless connection. One word of caution: Be sure to set up a secured environment to prevent anyone from using your internet connection. I was amazed when I set up the booster that I was able to view 4 neighbors accounts and could have used them without their knowing. Information on how to set up the secured connection is available on the Linksys website and only took me about 5 minutes to do for the entire system in my house (and I'm NOT computer literate!)
You may be correct, however
as it has been stated, client or company preference outweighs what my be considered correct. The company I work for requires 2 spaces after a period. They do not care what may be the correct way as this is what the clients specified to them.
this is not exactly correct
the point I am trying to make is operating in a market economy. You posted, "If people are going to function as an IC, they need to understand they are in charge of what they are paid by the MTSO" which isn't exactly true. The MTSO states what they pay and the IC takes it or leaves it. This is the same as saying "you are in charge of telling your employer what you are paid." The employer can say the job pays $8 an hour and then you take it or leave it. Which then you go on to say, "Personally, I tell an IC what I am willing to pay and if they accept it great, if not, I can negotiate." Which is exactly why people are taking jobs that pay 5, 6, 7 cpl. Because they need the work, and they can't find jobs in the market that are paying higher, at least not ones that fulfill their other criteria too (perhaps part time, not with a big national, whatever). Most importantly, the falling line pay rates show that global competition is affecting our job market. MT's will need to be prepared to make less as time goes on, not more, over the long haul.
mac is correct - about 33-35%....sm
For years I paid quarterly taxes but now I just do it yearly. It works out to 25-33% for me either way I do it.
Good luck!!!!
You are correct
All cost of living has skyrocketed...everything. Really think about it an IC making 0.12 a line and paying approximately 43-45% in Federal, State, unemployment, etc.etc...
Anyone know how if possible to correct...sm
a document in Word and have the correction and the error show in some way so I can return to MT, and she can see the error and the correction. Is it even possible to somehow correct, then get rid of the errors easily so I would then have a finished product???
Correct
You are right again but I think all of the MT's that are complaining on this subject need to realize that small to medium sized MTSO's like the one I run do not drive these situations. It is the overseas market that started this. They have been lowballing line rates just to get the work and it is terrible quality but hospitals and large medical facilities don't seem to care. That is why we do not market those places anymore. The problem is that our large national companies have jumped right into the mix by using overseas MT's and charging these drastically low line rates to get all the business. Then this affects the american MT's negatively and they get paid less. The whole problem is that I don't think it will change any time soon.
Terry
It's correct, there are not enough MTs, because
adf
Correct
You are correct
The original poster asks us to visit "her" blog - but did that page look like a blog an MT would have set up quickly about this?
Of course not - the post is a slick gimmick to get people to believe it's a real money maker.
I for one ain't biting.
Actually, the correct way...sm
is from left top corner to the bottom right corner - diagonally. It's the same with televisions, too.
C would be correct..........*S*
