I could switch to DSL but the phone company charges 50 extra a month for being on line for more than
So either way I will have to pay more. I guess no one else here is affected or concerned by this but the article said that other companies would follow suit if Time Warner has success. The article said it would affect the teleworkers who are on line for long periods, not the people who just use cable for reading their email.
Try Packet 8 - Unlimited long distance phone - flat 22.05 per month.

I pay $40 a month unlimited wireless broadband...
And I work on Bayscribe for two different MTSOs. I never have a problem and have no limit to 5GB or anything. It's through a company called Cricket if there are any in your area. I also have dial-up as backup just in case weather conditions interfere with my wi-fi connection (Bayscribe works great with dial-up, too, BTW!).
I, too, can't at this time afford satellite or cable, so I'm making do with wi-fi and dial-up and saving myself about $25 a month. It doesn't sound like a lot but in this economy, every little bit I can put back in my pocket helps.
Good luck!!!
Here's a link to a co that offers unlimited business for $30 per month. sm

Wow why so much I am only paying $54 with vonage for unlimited.
That is for the small business plan and I am unlimited.
Vonage for unlimited long distance
Does anyone use Vonage for the unlimited long distance to dial into a hospital or clinic system? If so, how does it work and what is the price? Do they allow you to use it for an 8-hour day?
TIA
you can do that - but why would you? Vonage has unlimited long distance too - nm

C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

How are other MTs doing phone charges?..sm
With AT&T/SBC telling some of us it will now be 3 or 5 cents per minute because we are a business, how are MTs being able to afford paying anywhere from 400 to 600 per month in phone charges?
How are others doing this? I know i would literally have to take on more work just to pay that bill.
Any feedback on what others do....

Phone charges
I don't know what anyone else is doing, but I'm contacting Lisa Madigan, Dick Durbin, and Barack Obama. I was told by SBC's business office that I am not a business.
phone charges
But you are using it to generate an income and they will consider that a business. Sorry that is the way that they think -- you are not conducting personal matters but matters to generate an income. Do you deduct your phone charges on your income tax form? This is not the way I think but they way that they think. I do not use my phone anymore than a residential but because I am an independent contractor, I must register as a business and my Comcast cable Internet Provider, my phone line is double that of a residential person -- have been paying double for almost 20 years. They will get every and any penny that they can.
AT&T/C-phone charges
My advice, get rid of AT&T, they suddenly, after taking over SBC, wanted to charge me 10 cents per telephone use while using my C-phone, said it was not considered a telephone call, but that data was being sent over line, so, another one bites the dust with them..am now with "WOW" for a 1/3 the cost and is great service.
1 month and you?
A month - and you?
We have had it for a month. All 5 of us
at one time or another tested positive for Strep. Only got well after antibiotics. But it lingers and flares up for weeks. Our entire town has it, and all for weeks and weeks - actually since Halloween.
If it has been less than a month,
you're probably still on probation, which works both ways. I would review the policy and speak to a supervisor before they invest any more time in training, etc. If you're professional and polite, it will work out.
Since one never knows whom they'll encounter down the road, try to make a graceful exit. Good luck.
I'm 30. 31 next month....
See update below.
a month...
I type 24 hours a week. I am new though and only get paid 7 cents a line right now. Would love to make more too!
$9,500 per month
Oh, I don't like to post my earnings here. It is such personal information. And I have you all beat cuz I make 19 cents per line.
My 18 month old was saying....

A month? I do!

how is $288/month better than $57/month?

I got one about a month ago.
It's been all right so far. It was not my first choice, but I needed a laptop in a hurry and didn't want to spend a lot, and Gateways were on sale at Best Buy, so that's what I got. If I had had more time, I would have chosen a Dell or HP, but the Gateway seems all right. A colleague mentioned that his son's school uses Gateway laptops and have been happy with them, so it's probably a safe choice, if you can find one at the right price.
One month
I took one month off, but wish I would have taken a little longer.
I have been looking for about a month
and finally I got 2 offers, but 1 company I've heard nothing about and the other I've heard good and bad things about. I really need to be working and don't know what to do. It's a bad time for everyone it seems.
I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
as of June, I'm at 47,000 and that was with one month off!

Is it just me? Started DQS at MQ last month
and although I've read over and over that MTs that start on DQS start loosing lines, I swear my production has gone up. For the first couple of weeks, it stayed a little less than normal, then I was moved onto a NEW acct on DQS and I'm always a little amazed how many lines it says I've managed to squeeze out.
Don't get me wrong--not happy about many things going on with this company, and I'm a little nervous. I'm just a mere SE with not much say in anything. But the line thing, it's been OK for me.
I agree, especially with a 6 month f/u. SM
Can you call the office and ask the doctor call you back to explain the findings?
Thanks. You know, we have been OUT OF WORK for over a month.
the moment is hard.
And, ha ha, nothing with MQ is fast anymore anyways. I bet I haven't made over 120 lines an hour in 3 months. I get bad reports nonstop. NONSTOP.
It would have been decent of them to have said it was an option instead of pretending like it was mandatory. Especially since they know we are broke out here from having no work. And believe me they know we have had no work.
Oh well, just another reason why I can't stay in MT after all these years. Why do I want to keep "giving" it away.
I adore it. Have had it about a month...
...and it's now the only keyboard for me. I've always used ergo keyboards, but this one has totally negated the pain that I'd get even from those. I use the "booster" part that goes in the front--which seems to be the key, along with the more canted angle of the board. Thank you Microsoft!
Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.
Only been there a month, but have not ran out of work yet.. more than enough.
Maybe it depends on your account. I have only worked on one account and this one has plenty of work. I have not ran out at all.. usually, the account is even a little behind..
I have a 9yo shih tzu and an 9-month-old
Lab/retriever mix. Beautiful babies!!
5000 a month
It is actually quite possible to do. I work for a small transcription business and one of our transcritionist averages $1900 to $2000 a week. She takes advantage of her ESP/shortcut program and makes templates for everything. So it can be done.
$9500/month
Well, I for one do not believe anyone pays 19 cents a line. I would need to see proof of that in writing as I think it is a bunch of a bologne!
$9500/month
Well, no wonder, you live out in the East Coast area which is way more expensive to live, so that I can believe.
Try asking for a 1 month deferment.

32 next month one child age 6
I am 31, 32 next month and I am divorced with a precious son who is 6
My 18 month old is eaten up with it!
She literally has it everywhere! She has tried every topical cream by prescription there is and they don't even touch it. Recently, her doc gave me samples of Cetaphil lotion and body wash and those have been the best thing she has ever used. It is in the lotion section at most stores. I have learned that certain things make it flare up worse at times; like food touching her skin (of all things). I read somewhere that even being upset can cause it to flare up. It is so bad that she cries and says "itching" several times a day.
Her doc told me that they will not be prescribing Elidel or Protopic anymore because they might cause cancer. Just thought I would tell you that in case your son is on either one of those.
Let me know if you find a magic cure for it!
I use Qwest - $25 a month. nm

yes, but how old are you that you can get individual ins for $59/month?

I don't know..... I know many MTs making that in a month....
but in their jammies, don't have to fuss with the makeup and only have to leave the house to go shopping! Oh, and they still get the write offs.
In this month's issue of
Advance, there is an offering for quite a nice prep kit.
What to do for mid-month cravings?
Help, ladies! I am 42 and am finding myself having major mid-month cravings now. I am not overweight and keep in good shape through diet and exercise, but come mid-month of my cycle all you-know-what breaks loose! It has become nothing to buy and eat a bag of chips, a large chocolate bar, and then go prowling around my house for something else "bad" to eat. After a few days I feel back to normal, but I really feel out of control for a few days a month now. Any suggestions?
