Oddly enough, if I don't use my bank card as a credit card in the billing cycle, I get charged fo
x
Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
I have used OneSuite for (sm)
personal use, so I'm not sure about disconnections while working. You just create an account through their website and you can recharge your minutes with a credit or debit card (maybe Paypal, too). They have a zipdial system, which basically means that you can input the number you will be calling from and then you don't have to enter your PIN number each time you call. You can also see your call history by logging onto your account via their website, which is a really nice feature. My experience with their customer service has been good, too. HTH 
I am using onesuite- sm
I have also just switched to a new job with a c-phone and have decided to use onesuite. They are 2.5 cents a minute and you prepay your minutes, like a calling card. I have heard of a few people using this so I am going to give it a try. It seems to work great for them. No limits, no hidden fees, etc.
I used to use onesuite before...
I got cable with my C-phone, and it says it's 2.5 cents for prepaid minutes. You get your own account and can check how many minutes you have left. Go to www.onesuite.com.
Onesuite
I used to use Onesuite and still do if I go out of town. You use it like a phone card, and I think it ranges from 2 to 3 cents per minute. Just go to onesuite.com.
I have been using Vonage for the last four years though. As long as you have a really good internet connection, you shouldn't have problems with Vonage IMO. I have moved about four times (husband was in the miliitary), and each time I have made sure I got the best internet, and have had no problems whatsoever. Good luck.
never had a problem with OneSuite
It's AT&T Call11Vantage that keeps dropping carrier. But, for $35/month, I tolerate it.
No, onesuite is $1.50 an hour, not $1.80.
x
Onesuite is an option with MDI? - sm
I used it when I started working for them, but didn't know I would continue using it?
Onesuite.com cheap, not
unlimited but very cheap, under 3 cents a minute. Lots bells and whistles. It's for regular phone not internet.
OneSuite questions...
Is it an LD program that works with your regular phone? You just buy increments of LD? I don't have LD on my phone, only Verizon and if I do make a call it is 5 cents a minute. OneSuite seems like a nice program, just wondering if anyone here uses it. TIA!!
Onesuite in hotel
That is exactly what I'm doing when I travel. I use my Onesuite account and dial an 800 number from my room and save on ridiculous charges from hotels.
Now you can also use its voip feature if your hotel has a good internet connection and you have your laptop with you. Saves you the trouble of dialing the 800 number or worry about getting charge for that 800 call.
Onesuite pay as you go service
Onesuite has always been a pay as you go service. No plans, no tie ups or anything so anytime you want to stop using Onesuite you don't need to do anything. But so far, I'm liking it so I will keep using it until someone better comes along.
NO, you're off. 0.03 x 60 = 1.80 that's without a direct onesuite connect sm
I used them for years. I didn't pay any attention to their rate, above -- but it doesn't matter how fast you type. You could sit there and NOT type, and you're still paying $1.80 for every hour you're hooked up.
And by the way, there are several dictators I'm 1:1 on. Not many though!
Onesuite has local access now for 0.025 cents
x
I found OneSuite would not stay connected to hos. system... went with ATT
x
onesuite.com was recommended to me. Have not checked into yet but 2.5 cents sounds good.

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
MQ finally getting to me too
I can relate, MQ finally getting to me too. I'm about at the same place, just unsure where to go from here, not wanting to get in more of a mess! I was originally with ddi from 1991, MQ bought in 1997 or thereabouts - I have had ONE raise since MQ came on, that was maybe in 1998... !
I've ignored so much about this company simply out of, ultimately, fear I guess - fear of the unknown with another national co.? What's that saying, better the devil we know... My attitude was always hey, I get paid well, work on accounts I've been on for years, and as long as no one messes with my pay check and leaves me alone in general, what's to not like about this job. I can ignore all the other scuttlebutt. Why torture myself with learning it a new way for another co. and then finding out they are just as, well... Not So Great.
But, that's just not cutting it any more. There are too many glaring problems to shrug it off any more it seems, including, for me, my pay has now been messed with, and, I believe, has been for quite a while.
Well, anyway, I wish you luck with wherever you move on to and send you a big dose of courage to Just Do It! It sure helps to hear some honest MQ MTs experience and opinions. And, I'm also glad for those MQers who find the company still works well for them. It's all relative.
I used to be that way until I finally
got fed up. the company just kept taking more and more advantage of me and "expected" me to clean up the mess so instead of 5 days I was working 7. one night my 3 yo said "mommy I want you to be with me and not work". that was the night that I started only working my shift and that's it. the company has taken revenge and has been switching me around from account to account more than normal and with the worst dr of course, but I only get one shot with my son and I don't need extra help screwing that up. the extra money doesn't mean enough to me. I've turned the furnace way down and use the fireplace daily instead. if you don't draw a line this job will control you because we all know that if we're not typing we're not getting paid but everyone needs something other than typing every waking minute!
FINALLY!!
you know what I mean 
I FINALLY had my last ..
period at age 58! For 3 or 4 years prior to that, I noticed that I was a lot less heat tolerant. Like you, I'd get sweaty (mainly face, neck chest) suddenly off and on for years but still was having a period regularly. They finally started getting irregular around age 55 where I'd skip one occasionally. Then the last year or two I'd skip several and finally had my last period at 58 (about a year and a half ago). The biggest symptom I had was night sweats. I'd wake up in the middle of the night absolutely burning up and kick off the covers. Actually this just stopped recently. I still will get a "flash" (face sweaty and hot) once in a while though. Other than that I didn't have many other symptoms. A little moody but not too bad. Good luck to you. I hope all goes smoothly for you!
I finally got
one of my docs to go digital. I had him buy the recorder (Olympus DSS4000 I believe). It came with software to load on his and my computer. I use Hypersend to email the completed reports back (encrypted). Unfortunately, I have another doc who is unwilling to have his staff download and do envelopes for his letters so I still have to go pick up tapes (but only twice a week and at least he is close).
What finally went through on the (sm)
Word Board was exactly what I was trying to put through all the other times. Anyway, thanks for the response and I'll just keep plugging along.
Finally
Finally someone who sees my point of view.
Finally, THANKS SO MUCH
 Well finally someone who speaks with intellect!  I agree with everything you said and what Patti said. OK I will get everything together and now that I know how to get the information to the Admin., I will do so tonight. Thank you for your words of WISDOM. I am not going to respond anymore. You are right and also you can go on forever with these comments. Again, thank you very much! XOXO
Finally.........
Best reading all day. 10 kudos!
I finally did this......
I don't know your physical ability, but have you tried walking a couple of hours before bedtime? I began going just around my block and back and was amazed at how much better I slept. I use to run every morning but because of really bad heel spur, I can't anymore. The walking doesn't feel so great on my foot either but I had to do something. I needed sleep.
Or,try soaking in a tub of warm water before bed. My hubby does this for arthritis before he goes to bed and I notice how much it really helps him sleep.
Another one, and I know this sounds crazy, but my hubby got me some great headphones that you plug into the TV at night, so if he falls asleep, I can watch TV without bothering him. What I noticed when having trouble falling asleep, if I put the TV on something boring, turn the volume down on my earphones, close my eyes, and try to listen, I find myself getting so drowsy that I turn them off and am able to sleep. I hope you find something that works for you.
Yes, finally........someone else!
I was beginning to think I was the only one who cringed with female dictators. The um, um, um.....I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!! Stop with the um and just speak WORDS!!!!!! And if the uuuhhmmmm isn't enough, I have a Pakistani female dictator and she is HORRIBLE. The mumbling 90 mph and uuuhhhhmmmmm.....I'm sorry I just want to reach out and slap her and ask her if that took her off the uuuhhmmmmmmm and could she now please just SPEAK NORMALLY!!!!!
Finally got rid of it!!!!!
Thank you all for your help with this blankety-blank problem I had that was entirely my fault. After trying 3 different ways to get rid of this garbage, I think I have succeeded.
Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks so much.
Finally!
I am WITH ya! Why can't we stand up all together! Been in this 15 years and made more $$ and actually had personal time years ago. Less pay for training a "machine" to eventually give us less work and probably put us out of a job...
Seems everyone is either afraid or, like us, do not know how to begin and what to do. If all of us that have been seeing such drastic changes because of low $$, low work and we stood together - even on 1 day just for 1 hour - WOW - what a backlog and that would speak the loudest! It could work, too. The majority who have these same issues far outnumber those that seemingly don't.
Finally cools off and what do we have?
SKUNKS! I guess it was too hot for them to come out in the past month. Now they come out to scrounge around the neighborhood at 8:00 p.m. to pick through the trash bags that people leave out on the roadside 3 days before trash pick up. My whole house smells like skunk.
But you can't stop these people that work the M-F shift and gather up all of their garbage in garbage bags and leave them out on Sunday evening so they won't have to get up 5 minutes early on Tuesday, which is trash day, to take the bags out to the roadside. Yes, there is a law (more like a "town ordinance" that says no trash until the morning of pickup). It's not enforced though and we just have to put up with the lazy people.
Oh well, "Eau de skunkola" is the fragrance for this evening. 
I'm glad somebody finally got it right! :)
Then there is the easy man 7 course meal: Six pack and a bag of chips.
Finally! Thank you Lord.
It's about time all of you whiners left MedQuist. I have had enough of you complainers. It is just more work for me now! Yeah!!!! Did any of you ever think that it is time to retire? If you can't understand DocQscribe, which is so basic, I love it, you probably shouldn't be a Transcriptionist anymore. I think that is why so many of you can't get your lines up because you don't know what you are doing in the program. Anyway, thank you lord that you all are leaving. It is about time you quit complaining and do something for once in your lives.
Finally leaving MQ
Finally leaving MQ. Will miss the nice people but not the new changes. Thanks everyong on this board for your help. It's kind of scary to make a change, but what the heck. It won't matter in 10 years.
Finally leaving MQ
If you do not mind my asking, what company was that test for?
For WEEKS I had this. It's finally gone. nm

Finally, we have gone digital...
 I just want to share my enthusiasm and gratitude with all of the MTs on this board who provided me with information on how to go about going digital as opposed to using tapes. It has been about 2 months in the making, and today I finally successfully and securely received my first audio file from the physician's office. No more tapes and wasting time and gas! Again, thanks to all of the more experienced & knowledgeable MTs on this board. Your wisdom has helped me a great deal. 
Finally someone who thinks like I do! sm
I never understood how Bucky even got in the top 12! What drove me nuts the most was was his inability to speak clearly! I really laughed when Ryan said "I have no idea what you just said" and when Kenny Rogers said he needed to enunciate or the song wasn't going to make any sense.
Bucky just really had a skeevy look to me...like I wouldn't leave a child alone with him.
I finally got into my mail but IM still down...nm

Glad someone finally said it
This is so true - i am courted by companies every week - all making empty promises - and I know this because of what everyone on this board says about them. We are a great help to each other - and if anyone finds that "great"MTSO who is looking for a part-timer - look me up! I want in on the deal and i have experience to back it up.
FINALLY PAID
Well I finally got my check from the 15th. It was dated for the 16th, postmarked the 24th and received on the 29th. Let's see how long it takes to receive the final one.
thanks ER/MT - I got it finally *dense here*..nm
Never mind...finally got on a while ago..nm
x
Finally, it works!
Thanks! This works great. For oldies like me, we need more specific instructions unfortunately. When people were saying to change the backstep to a higher number I didn't realize it went that high!! I don't know if there's anyone else out there that wasn't understanding but, I went under backstep on stop, highlighted it and changed it to 2000. Wonderful! thanks!
Yay, finally a subject I know something about
In case you haven't already found your answer - there are two variables to take into account. 1) Is the company an ASO (administrative services only), meaning they are self funded, or 2) do they actually purchase a policy through an insurance company? If they are ASO then they are under no obligation to follow any state/federal guidelines regarding coverage. However, if they actually purchase an insurance policy then they must add him to the policy regardless of his medical history. There may be a pre-x condition waiting period (ok, there's really no "maybe" about it, there will be), however, if he has had continuous coverage for at least 18 months without a gap in coverage greater than 30 days then that should be waived. Depends on how long their waiting period is as to how much previous coverage he would have to prove.
for stating that!!! Finally! NM

I finally helped someone. Yea!! (nm)
You know, I think I'm just going to have to finally just give in
I think my whole "problem" (if that's what I should call it) has been the stubbornness and unwillingness to give in to the lower rates these days (as an experienced MT of 15 years).
I feel I deserve 10 cents a line or at least 9 cents.
I just didn't feel that taking a 20% pay cut was right, especially considering all the good, hard work I've done over the past decade, the great experience I've racked up, and continuing education on my own time.
But, seriously, I can see where things are going, and if I don't get out of that mindset, I'm not going to make it.
I have to change my way of thinking and just STOP thinking that I'm going to ever make what I made 10 years ago and STOP thinking that I'm worth more than what is being offered. I know that I am, but my pride isn't going to put food on the table or keep a roof over my head.
My 10 cpl job has dried up, not enough work to pay the bills. I've swallowed my pride and found an 8 cpl job and hoping to get another 8 cpl job. That's how it is, and that's how it goes.
If I resist the urge to compare the line count at 8 cents with what I *could* be making at 10 cents, I'll be okay. I have to erase those thoughts and stop eating my heart out and just do the job at 8 cents. Better than nothing.
