Unlimited LD. I told them when I signed up what I would be using it for and they told me that was not a problem at all. Is this the plan you had?

FREEDOM
Does anyone know of a company that will hire a Transcriptionist with 20 years experience in all phases of transcription who DOES NOT need benefits but does need 24-hour turnaround time flexibility? It seems most of the places are going to hourly. I need to change jobs.
Think it is Freedom Type.

we now have freedom OF religion for all
you are perfectly free to celebrate whatever holiday you wish to NOW. The majority celebrating Christmas does not diminish that in any way, shape or form.
Freedom of speech is still a part of the
constitution. I once had a supervisor tell me he knew that his secretary and I had been talking about him, and he would terminate me if I ever talked to ANYONE about him again.  I actually laughed in his face (and never got terminated).
This is really stupid that anyone or any company thinks they have the right to control what people can and cannot talk about. Now, company information that can be damaging if disclosed is another issue. However, salary info doesn't fall into that category. It falls under the "How much do you make, because I want to be sure I'm getting a fair deal" category. 
Anyone work for Freedom Type sm
Do they have SE and employee status or just employee? TIA!
 
Does anyone have any info on Freedom Type?
If anyone works for them, has worked for them or has any info (pay, flexibility, good to work for, equipment, etc.) I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Freedom Type...Anyone out there with any info?
Anything at all would be helpful. Thanks!
Freedom of speech... no you can not be sued.
Isn't it amazing the freedom, lack of stress, zip, gone.
congratulations!
THANKS KRIS AND NM for info on Freedom Type
That helps!
Best - I love the freedom of working the hours I want -sm
--as long as the work is in my deadline my "employer" does not care when I work- WORST is when I procrastinate and then either have to work like a nut to get done, or stay up to ungodly hours to get the work done, or work all day instead of doing whatever project or thing I wanted to get done that day. ---I can deal with the taxes, yes its a pain, but my lack of schedule is well worth it to me.
Phone. Rad docs don't have much freedom to move... SM
because they have to look at the films while dictating and that ties them down to certain equipment.
Homeschool! Freedom! Great family bonding!

Verizon has one....
I think it is $0.99 per call (might be per day charge), then $0.10 per minute. If you call other Verizon customers, it is free, except the $0.99 connection fee still applies, I think.
I use Verizon and...
have a C-phone account. They have never cared that I use it for transcription. In fact, I told them that this is why I needed it when I added it to my account. It is $49.94 per month.
no Verizon available here, but thanks anyway

Do not go with Verizon either, they did that to me without
telling me. I signed up for unlimited long distance and went about my business for a whole month dialing in and working, etc. and then I received a bill in the mail for $2500. Their take on it was that I could not use their unlimited $39.95 plan a month for what I was doing because it was considered business and not home use. They switched me to the per minute plan without notice and sent me the bill. I fought with them over the bill and they reduced it to $800 that I was responsible for. Anyhow, if anybody has any idea what to do I would like to know. Also, how about all the hospitals we dial into just get 1-800 numbers. Just seems like the logical thing to make their MTs happy. 
Verizon DSL
I have used Verizon for a couple months now - not a problem so far.
I had Verizon - sm
If you read the information pamphlet they send you after you sign up, you will see that it clearly states if they feel you are using more than the "average" consumer, they will change your plan to the talk 30 (I think it was) plan. Some people were even billed for what they considered over their limits. I'm not sure if Verizon puts a cap on their minutes. It might be different in other areas. Be very careful though. I would definitely make sure they know what you are using it for up front.
Verizon has one, but you have to have
a cell plan of theirs and then it depends on where the wireless towers are.
Verizon
I work for Webmedx and use the air card when we travel in our RV.
currently trying verizon
i am currently trying verizon on my laptop in an effort to find service i can travel with and i really am not impressed. it is faster than dial up, but unless you have a really strong signal it's not as fast as dsl. i have my verizon cell phone sitting next to me with full signal and my laptop is showing no bars - verizon customer support says this is always a possibility and it will run at dial up speeds when no bars are available. my concern is not uploading reports or losing reports while i'm typing. sorry for not using caps i'm just being lazy. have a great day.
Verizon
I just switched from Cingular Wireless to Verizon and I love it. It is working great and FAST! I go camping a lot plus vacations and needed a way to work on my laptop.
I have Verizon
I have used Verizon unlimited long distance for 2 years until just recently after switching to voip. I was never questioned about my usage. Unless anything has changed, you should be okay.
Yes, I have Verizon, and my
total bill last month, including regular phone, unlimited LD and caller ID was $66. 
verizon ULD
Verizon is our only available carrier for local and I have a choice of either Verizon or AT&T for my long distance, both of which offer unlimited long distance packages. Start with Verizon since that is your carrier and call them up to ask about an unlimited long distance service. It is none of their business what you use it for, personal or not. Who knows, things may not work out at the new job and you have to find something else. Our bill local and long distance through Verizon runs roughly $65 to $70 a month. Also, you would have to Google 'unlimited long distance plans' but there is a site that will ask for your local phone number and it will show you what should be available where you are at. I hope this helps and hope the new job goes well.
verizon
I have been doing this now for three years using Verizon. I have yet to be charged anything other than the flat rate for long distance. I have not seen anything anywhere about a cap of minutes. I don't know where you are at but there are probably differences in locales re: the way one is billed, etc. I don't know, as I do not work for Verizon. For that matter, in my dealings with them, chances are there are people that do the job that don't know for sure.

Try uninstalilng norton and installing AVG free antivirus. Sometimes when norton upgrades they turn interfere with certain programs such as security. AVG is a free antivirus that can be found if you Google avg free - make sure you pick the free version. I have used it for sevearl years now and it has never interefered with interent (we have moved twice and had different providers) or with any of my platforms.
Hey! I signed the above MQ QA
NOT not a cruise fan!! What is up with that???
I just signed up with the gym. You get one
free visit with the PT and then they try and get you to pay $50 a month extra to sign up with a PT. Hahahahahahah! Not happening. My little toe feels great but the rest of my body is screaming at me. Trying to work but that's not going well today.
I signed up with...sm
Best Friends. I wonder if anyone who has offered to foster pets from Katrina have been contacted yet. I haven't heard anything from them about being a foster parent. I live near Atlanta and I heard that several pets were sent to Atlanta's Humane Society, but haven't heard of anyone having a pet placed with them.
Maybe I'll try the LA SPCA posted here. Post if you or someone you know has had a pet from LA placed with them.
I thought I should say that I don't think there's anything funny going on, I just wonder what they're doing with all those pets.
Thanks!
I signed it but....
.....I don't like their tactics. When you click on "sign petition", it takes you to the donate page. Of course, you don't have to donate, but at first I, too, like some of the people further down in the threat, thought there was no other option besides donating. But then when I clicked on the "Signatures" tab, I saw my name was there.
There are a lot of gullible and unwary people out there - and the way they have that website set up, it is designed to prey on them. I signed this petition because I feel it is important, but I will not be signing any other petitions on that site.
Has anyone signed up for 6.99
a month with TranscriptionNet? Is it worth it, any good jobs to be found? Thanks
I know someone who has the Verizon version and they
are very pleased with it. The service area is limited though.
No problem with Verizon
I have used Verizon unlimited long distance for close to 9 months now and have had no problems. I was up front with them what I was doing and they never questioned it.
I use a Verizon card
when traveling. I have the Nationwide package, $60 a month unlimited. In heavily populated areas, it is almost as quick as my DSL at home, but even in low population areas it is still better than dial-up. I've traveled from coast to coast (mostly along I-80) and only lost signal in the usual remote places (certain stretches of Wyoming or in heavy tree coverage). You might want to buy a card from whoever has the best cell signals in your area.
Is this the same with Verizon. I have no idea. nm
:
Would you consider Vonage or Verizon the best bet?
Verizon air card
More info please. My husband and I are planning to do a lot of traveling and have been questioning the same things. I know we can leach off a signal if we are close enough to a wireless place such as a hotel, but what if we are up in the mountains or on a beach in the middle of nowhere?
Verizon FIOS
I've been using it for over a year now with no problems. It only goes down when the land lines do - so that is something to gauge it by. Comcast was another story totally and they charged about $20 more a month.
Sprint or Verizon
I had nothing available for my area. Even Sprint and Verizon wireless cards (you can get one for a USB, you just have to ask specifically) say that it will not work in my area. My employer let me try one of their cards and it worked great even though no signal. Verizon would still not let me purchase one being "outside" the service area even though I had one proven to work. Sprint did let me and I believe they have a 14-day guarantee that if it doesn't work you can return it. A bit expensive on the front end for devices, even with rebates, but well worth it. I have never lost a connection...even in the most rural of areas.
Verizon USB modem
I have been using a Verizon Wireless with 5GB limit as a backup internet connection the past couple months and for traveling. I have successfully worked with it without using very many MB (that's MB, not GB) at all. On evenings when I work and don't surf, my usage comes up to less than 100 MB for about 3-4 hours of work. 5 GB translates to 5120 MB. The evening that I decided to watch a Netflix video in a hotel room, I used over 500 MB, so I really wouldn't recommend trying to watch videos very often if you want to stay under your 5 GB limit. However, Medquist's DocQScribe program doesn't use much at all.
Also, when I have to use it from home because of my cable internet being down (frustrating, but it seems to happen a lot!), the whole thing works slower because I only get 1 bar of service here. From home, I can't even watch Netflix at all on Verizon because the connection speed isn't fast enough. From the hotel with full bars of service on Verizon, Netflix worked as well as it does from home when my cable connection is working properly.
Good luck! But seriously, if you're only working and doing emails on your Verizon, it should be within your usage limits without any problems!
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.
FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??
it seems to be all offices, have you signed
up for IPAY? I have not gotten a check yet either, but there is a statement there for 09/02 which obviously is not a regular paycheck
Unless you signed something when you were hired
that says you agree to pay for return shipping when you leave, then the company is responsible. If you don't have your original hire paperwork, ask them for a return shipping label. If they say you agreed to pay for it, ask them to send you a copy of the signed agreement. Make sure you save all correspondence.
You never signed a noncompete, right?
Besides that, I have it from two attorneys and the State Department of Labor that noncompete agreements aren't legal in many states. TAKE the ACCOUNT and RUN!!!! This woman has said that you can have them, she doesn't want them. They do want you. You don't owe her any loyalty, especially if she's running her business into the ground. YOU need to look out for YOURSELF. That's what I'm doing today is making a list of every potential transcription client in my city and soliciting them by phone with follow-up letter.
Gee...isn't that the profession YOU signed up for as well?
Constantly correcting mistakes?
I signed and sent the link to everyone I know

I signed, did not donate
Signed but not reviewed
I am an IC and my new account wants me to include this under their signature line. Is this okay? Why? I transcribe microcassette tapes which are erased after every use. Legally, could I get in trouble if a report is dictated wrong/transcribed wrong, is it my responsibility since it states "Signed but not reviewed"? Any feedback is much appreciated...
