  • I don't mean to be rude, but the answer is to work for a company - that pays for long distance.

      • No, onesuite is $1.50 an hour, not $1.80. - I use it daily. nm
        • 1.80 for me ... have to use their access. nm - LTMT
          • Onesuite is an option with MDI? - sm - MTK
            • Sure, you can use it if you don't have unlimited LD. In fact, they will sm - LTMT
        • $1.50 an hour sounds good until you calculate FT at - about $250 a month (nm)
          • And you still end up making more money paying LD. sm - LTMT
  • How in the world did AT&T - find out?

I know it's been asked before here, and I am searching the archives for info, but wondering if any new feedback about good, cheap, unlimited long distance plans that won't hassle you about using it for transcription, about 6000 to 8000+ minutes per month?  Oh, in the California area.

Thanks!

even though I talked with them extensively about this over 1 month ago, they still don't understand why the "trigger alarm" keeps going off on my unlimited plan account since I wasn't using the phone line for "internet" usage.  I dial into somewhere using a lanier and get the voice for dictation.  I do all the transcription over DSL.  They haven't put a block on me yet, but I guess what I am wondering here is....."IS THERE A TRICK" to keep the trigger alarm from going off??  What is everyone else doing about this because apparently they are not going away and I need a place to go if/when they cut me off.  TIA

What is the best company to use for unlimited long distance for transcription.  What happens if your long distance plan is for residential and you are using this line for business?  Apparently, this company checks the account if you use over 5,000 minutes per month and changes your account to business.  Any advice is appreciated.

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

I currently need an experienced MT (at least three years - actual medical typing) to cover a 2 doctor account.  Very simple dictation - SOAP note format.  This account is looking for another doctor, so that could add in.  Currently, very small amount of dictation - approximately 800-1300 lines total per week.  24 hour turn around. 

If you have a c-phone and have unlimited long distance, please send me your resume + 2 references for people you have actually typed for.  Start rate 8cpl (65 character).  This is an IC position.

I am the owner of a small transcription company in Virginia - have had stable accounts and great MT's for over 13 years.  THANK YOU!!!

distance plan that doesn't involve VoIP?   I'm in the southeast.  I have unlimited LD with BellSouth, but unlimited to them and unlimited to me isn't the same thing and I've heard about the nightmares others have had with the $500 phone bills.  

I've googled and googled and not finding much information about reliable companies that may offer this. 

Does anyone know of a good unlimited minutes long distance company?

Try ACC Business, a division of AT&T.  I have a resume business and have used them for over 10 years.  It's less than 3 cents a minute.  Check it out!

You may want to check out SunRocket for $25/month you get unlimited long distance.  You do need high speed internet though.

I use AT&T.  Get a business account (does not cost more and if you have problems with your phone lines they fix it right away, no waiting.)  The price is terrific (I pay for two lines unlimited long distance) and it is around 100.00 a month for both, no long distances charges and great service.  I have thought about Vonage or Charter, which would save me some money.  If it is available in your area you should check it out.  You can keep your old phone numbers too.  I think I will stay with AT&T for a while longer until the reliability of Vonage and Charter along with the quality of sound is a sure thing.
