Thanks for the update MacGyver. I look forward to talking with you more about your multi-talents in books and circuits. You sound like an interesting person.

MacGyver was one of my favorite shows back when If you ever get any bills that look like they need to be reviewed I'd be happy to go over the tariffs for you.

Have a good evening,
Barbara

Dear KLD,
Thanks for the welcome. I think this was a great idea and I've been pondering doing something like this for years ... just to educate the public about the errors and tariff violations found in bills. I'm looking forward to great issues and lots of good information to display here.

Keep in touch!

Anyone on this site is welcome to fax me any bills for free consultation and advice.

fax: 719-689-2175

Hope to talk with you soon,
Barbara

Welcome Barbara
Can you help me explain to my customers why they have to pay anywhere from 1.3 to 5.9 cents a minute for long distance from there office phone, but can make the same call from there cell phone for free? (of course not free cause they are paying for minutes) It is something my customers are looking at going with other CLEC's (IP based like CentricVoice and Vonage) more and more even if just with 2-3 lines just for LD.

Dear DNRcom,
Thank you for the welcome. In response to your customers placing long distance with Internet providers and cell phones - I know it seems unfair. The rates will always be higher with LEC (local provider) since the calls are switched and must pass through the LEC - Each LEC charges a fee each time they switch the call through the Central Office and they pass that on to the IXE (Interexchange Carrier aka long distance carrier). With the internet there is little fee from carriers like Vonage, etc since they only have to pay for equipment but exclude the local providers and their fees.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Barbara

I'm just happy to have a blond on board. Today is my birthday and I'm going up to once more buy my transition from gray back to blond. I may have to buy my blond, but its still my blond.

Two blonds are standing on opposite sides of the river. One calls across to the other, "Hey, how do I get to the other side?"

The blond stares and stares at her in disbelief. "Are you crazy or something, you are on the other side."

Welcome Barbara: Here's something to consider. NuVox has started using Sonus for some of their long distance. https://www.sonusnet.com/contents/solutions/apps/apps_longdistance.cfm

They package LD a lot like cell companies lately. NuVox is also offering a VOiP service that works like PRI and connects like PRI. Some of thier techs have lost their jobs over protesting the problems with supporting both Sonus and VOXIP.

Dear Bunnie,
Thanks for the cute joke. I'm glad this board has a sense of humor

Dear Mark,
Thanks for the info on NuVox. We don't sell any ld services or Voip but we do provide the audit of the bills. Always good to know the latest info.

Keep in touch,

My company actually does the audits and the local, ld services, IP trunking, pt to pts, internet T-1's and so forth. Good info on the NuVox!

VOXIP has been temporarily stoped. THey are not selling it right now due to problems. Nuvox is great for your normal T-1/PRI service, but the VOXIP stuff is on hold until they fix their problems.
