I'm in central CA too
But alas nowhere near a beach. I had to move here from Monterey due to my mother's declining health. I do so miss that area and the gorgeous beaches in Monterey...

But life goes on and I'm making the best of it :-)

Central Transcription
Has anyone ever heard of (or work for) a company called Central Transcription Service out of Woodhaven Michigan?  I've never heard it mentioned on this board. Any info appreciated. 
All you central Ohioans....

One of the major hospital systems in Columbus has 3 transcription openings.  Does anyone know if they have at-home positions or are they in-house?  I see the address is right downtown Columbus and I would not like to drive that every day.  TIA!


Is you company based in central FL? nm

Anyone have anything good or bad on this company? Thanks!
Central Transcription Service
.... in Michigan has an ad on one of the job boards for an OP MT.  It sounds pretty good. 
CTS (Central Transcription Service)
Again I was told that our checks that should have been sent on the 15th will not be mailed until this Friday, 24th.  That is 9 days late, plus the 3-4 days it takes for it to arrive, so almost 2 weeks late.  In the 3 months I've worked for them I only had one check on-time.  This is totally unprofessionable. 
Central Transcription Services
My sister worked there and they missed payroll twice. She quit and it took 6 weeks to get her check. Bad news
CTS (Central Transcription Service)
Again, and thankfully the last time I'll have to deal with this, I was not paid on-time (hopefully I will get paid considering I quit) I am awaiting my final paycheck from CTS which should have been, according to the payroll department, direct deposited on Friday the 31st.  After complaining because my direct deposit was not posted I was told it was becaused I resigned, that they mailed the check yesterday at 12:00 p.m.  Of the 3 months that I worked for them I was paid late all but 2 pay periods.  If you want to be paid definitely do not consider working for them.  Promises are made and not kept, yet they continued to ask for extra help when they were behind.  I guess they don't get that most of us work for income, not because we are philanthropists and are working out of the goodness of our hearts. 
Anything to say about Central Transcription Services in Michigan? nm

Go with Vonage
I have had them for many many years and I hardly ever have a problem. It is worth the 27.99 a month! You just need DSL or Cable internet service. They have many features and offer free long distance in Canada and the U.S. I use the phone for many many hours each month and they never complain or try to limit my usage.
Use Vonage.....
www.vonage.com  It's voice-over-IP and you pay about $29 a month for unlimited long distance.  I used it with MDI's system for a long time. 
Vonage
Vonage is great BUT after a couple of years they notified me that I had to upgrade to a business line. But after chcking with the other companies in the area I found that they were still a HUGE savings so now I pay about $50 a month for an unlimited business line.
Vonage
I used Vonage for about a year on a C-phone account with MDI-MD until it switched to a web account. It always worked just fine for me. Vonage just seems to work fine for some people nad not for others, so MDI was probably just warning her it wasn't guaranteed to work.
Vonage LD

I have used Vonage for quite sometime now, I had the residential plan for unlimited long distance and last year I got message saying that they were switching my residential account to Business account( about $20 or $25 more) because they looked at my actual use of the line and knew that it was business related so be aware of this. It is still much cheaper though.


Vonage
I have had Vonage for the past 2 years, unlimited long distance, never got a letter about residential or business use.  
I had Vonage.....
and the same thing happened to me. If you are on there for 4 STRAIGHT hours, it will disconnect you. I would just watch the clock and hang up before the 4 hours was up. Good luck! I changed companies because I wasn't willing to pay extra for Vonage.
Go to Vonage
It really is unlimited, its through your internet, and it's also a heck of a lot cheaper than AT&T's  business plan.  I know because I have them, kept my same plan with them but added Vonage long distance with their router. 
Vonage
Have used Vonage for almost 2 years and it really works for me....cheaper phone bill....unlimited long distance, etc...

Is anyone else having a problem with their foot pedal.  This just started about an hour ago.
Yes - Vonage (sm)
I have been using Vonage with C-phone too for months and it works great. I got the $50.00 unlimted plan - and unlike AT&T and some others, it is TRULY UNLIMITED. Hope this helps!

I have Vonage they are great

Vonage won't work with many (sm)
MT set-ups, like C-phone or Lanier. Onesuite.com worked for me -- also got free fax service with it.
So if not Vonage-What else does everyone use with their C-phone?
I really have no idea what is left!
Oh gosh! Not Vonage! Now this is looking very bad...sm

Vonage was misleading
First let me say I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!! I was one of those who used my LOCAL company, then they found out I was abusing the plan. I switched to Vonage. I was upfront with them that I used the line for DATA. They STILL signed me up for the residential plan ($24.95/month). Then, same thing, about a month into that, I received call from Vonage saying I was abusing the plan and I must be switched to Business Plan (I think it's $49.99/month). I STILL LOVE MY JOB but this disconnection is a ROYAL PAIN. I guess if there is no way around it, I'll just grin and bear it. I have worked for MANY other companies and have NEVER been as satisfied as I am with Keystrokes! So, I guess the inconvenience will STILL be worth it in the long run..........
Vonage is good......but not if you have
With high speed internet, it is clear as anything and very cheap at about $25 a month and the first 3 months are free and the equipment is free. Good luck!
vonage is compatible with 911 - you just have to set it up - nm

Vonage residential - staying away from anything

Vonage told me they don't allow MTs anymore.
Anyone currently using Vonage to MT will most likely end up getting the boot once they figure it out. It's only a matter of time.




Vonage, but also have regular ULD as a backup

I spent about $45 a month for the 2 combined, both residential plans.  If I use my ULD (through Qwest) I'm careful how much I'm using so I don't red flag their system.  I haven't had any problem with Vonage for the 2 months I've been there and using it heavy.  I talked to a couple of other people who have used Vonage really heavy for 1-2 years and haven't had a problem, so I decided to go with that.  I only picked up the Qwest ULD recently because my Vonage box malfunctioned and I didn't have any long distance for 3 days until I got a new one, so like I said, the Qwest ULD is now a backup.


Be careful with Vonage. My friend uses
I tried using their modem, I no longer had any internet access.  Called Vonage and they said they never had this problem before, but they hadn't worked out all the bugs yet.  All 3 of my computers would not work.  Had to call my DSL tech department and it took all day long to finally get back on line.  Somehow Vonage fouled up our IP address in cyberspace.  So I lost a day's worth of typing because of trying to use Vonage.  This is very recent, only a week ago.
Vonage, but I know it doesn't work well everywhere (nm)

Vonage wouldn't work well enough. I'm in MI if that
helps.
If you do decide to go with Vonage, WARNING: (sm)

Make sure the person who is taking your order understands and speaks coherent English.  I called on 2 separate occasions to open an account, and both times the customer service representative repeated my credit card number INCORRECTLY to me.  This made me very uncomfortable as far as their competency.


Additionally, after these occurrences, I called again and asked to speak with a supervisor or manager and was told that he is in a meeting now and that there was no one else of higher authority that I could speak with.  The call ended by the customer service rep asking me to call back later.  What a hoot!  Yea right buddy. NOT!!!!


I have had Vonage for over a year now and love it.sm
Why hassle with phone calls when you can order it all online at Vonage.com?  That's what I did and had no problems.  I sympathize, though.  I hate when I call and get misinformation, put on hold forever, or some other aggravation. 
I had Vonage Friday of last week and
I work for MDI and use Charter. I don't know if my problem was with the cable or with Vonage, but I would be at the end of a job and the Vonage phone would just cut out...sometimes staying connected, just not operational for a little bit (30-60 seconds), or worse, it would just cut off and I lost the job. The job got stuck in never-never land and I could not get it back to finish transcribing it. One job cost me almost 100 lines. So, on Tuesday I got Charter's ULD...the independent sales rep gave it to me for $15/month.
Vonage uses your DSL high-speed lines.
Doesn't affect your local service at all and won't replace it, either. It's the same concept as having your DSL and regular phone service.
Starting to panic about using Vonage for LD - need opinions
Thought I was a happy camper waiting for my phone adapter to arrive with my problems for LD solved, ready to give my 2 week notice to MQ - then I found print outs I had from searching for a carrier one other tmie & found one where a bunch of girls using it ended up being knocked off of it too.  I'm really starting to panic.  I have SBC and know all the problems people have had with it - so that's out.  If you're using Vonage - how long have been using it ?  Any problems ?  I tried e-mailing them and got a stupid "canned text" message back.  I really think I'm having a nervous breakdown here and need some suggestions and/or opinions on this.   
I tried Vonage a while back, but I didn't think it worked very well at all and got rid of it.

Vonage works just fine with my C-phone
and Lanier. I have had it over a year now and have had no problems at all.
