I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
phone line
I work at Spheris (and love it) and use a cable modem. However, if my cable was ever down, I COULD use my phone line for a dial up connection to not miss out on working. Otherwise, I never have had a need for a land line versus a cell phone. HTH
C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I worked on 3 C-phone accounts.
Two of them were very involved, less than 50% ESL, but they were Meditech accounts. Meditech is a horrible platform. I posted more info above on your other post from today.
Used to need a second phone line to work there. Does anyone know about now? nm

No, you don't need C-phone or a second line, and yes, I believe we do have clinic work. nm

Does Spheris require a phone line? sm
I'm thinking about going there, but why bother applying and testing if I have to use a C-phone. I do internet work only. Any other Spheris info good or bad anyone could share is appreciated. Thanks.
Is this all Internet dictation and no phone line? NM

My account requires a second phone line (nm)
Interview by phone. Tests are on line. NM

I did phone training years ago on the platforrm and was paid 50.00 per call (sm)
The call usually lasted an hour, and was one-on-one.
internet or extra phone line work? - nm

They hire FT only. Need a second phone line. Might have to rent/lease equip. from them. nm

Prior posts say you need a C-phone & 2nd line, and that they follow BOS II guidelines very

I've had spot spelling tests over the phone for svl places in my years. Not fun when you rely on

I got 100% on the phone interview, and thought the on-line test was easy, but they still didn't h

You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line

C-phone accounts aren't any better, not enough work to make line counts there either. Sigh

C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

I do use a C-phone, but...
The program that we type into is web-based and is the absolute best I've ever used, because it's so simple and fast. My C-phone is hooked up to my DSL via Vonage www.vonage.com, so I pay $27 a month long distance. I think there are some accounts, however, that actually use a .wav pedal. I just don't happen to be on those accounts.
Does anyone have DSL and use a C-phone? - sm
I need to know if you are on-line (DSL) and working on your C-phone (same line), does call waiting still work?
Thanks.
Do you have a phone #
for this company or know how they are listed in the phonebook?
C phone
Just wanted general information on C phones-- how they work etc. I am losing my mind, I did not mean info on Accustat, WI
C-phone
Accustat wants me to switch over and I have no idea how one works. I really like this company too
Yep, C-phone...
both accounts (I switch between 2, both use C-phone).
C-phone
Thanks. I think that I will go ahead and get one so that I can switch over. I was wondering about the phone like-- thanks for clearing that up. Can't afford a new one so I think I am going to try Ebay.
You need a C-phone but...
other than that, they are great. Very organized, helpful, and they pay on time!
C-phone
To my knowledge, a C-phone and a Dictaphone are one in the same,
I have a c-phone

C-phone
A C-phone is short for connection phone. It looks just like a regular telephone only bigger. It has ports to plug in a headset and footpedal. It also has a regular receiver that you can use to call out, just like a plain phone. When you are given a C-phone account, you dial the number you are given, perhaps enter a PIN or ID# and
depending on the account, listen to the prompt for further data. Then you simply press the foot pedal and start typing. It also has 16 memory spots to program frequently dialed numbers. It also has to be programmed (by you) for the headset, etc, which isn't hard. Personally, I prefer a C-phone account. They are nice to use.
You will own the C phone
No, after 2 payments of $50 you will own it and do not ever have to send it back. They are a great company.
C-phone
If you have to buy a C-phone from them, it is only $100, and they will take two payments of $50 out of 2 checks. I was lucky and got an account that didn't use a C-phone, though. They are very willing to work with you and if you request an account that doesn't use a C-phone, they are generally very accommodating.
c-phone
Good Morning, I am trying to use a C-phone, can dial in, hear reports, but foot pedal is not working. It is connected. Is there something I am supposed to do other than that? Thanks to all.
C-phone
I got my C-phone on ebay for $120, so opted to go that route instead of renting.

I pay $30 for local and unlimited long distance through my cable company. You have to watch out on those unlimited long distance plans that most phone companies use. If you look in the fine print they usually are really unlimited and they will kick you off if you use too much. Cable phone has been good so far and I have used Vonage in the past, too, and didn't have any problems.
If you are going to be using a C-phone you will need
unlimited long distance. I would suggest checking into your options now. AT&T offers unlimited long distance but it is not unlimited and has a limit of 5000 minutes, which is half of what you will need.
It's not a c-phone
It is a lanier. I have used a C-phone and sound quality was not as bad as this.
C-phone
The best C-phone is a Lanier. I was on other copies but the best Cphone has always been a Lanier.
C-phone
My C-phone is programmed for 2222 to slow down, 3333 to speed up, 6 to replay header, 8 to sign off job. If this doesn't work for you, call your super and ask for help in reprogramming the phone. Good luck!
KS-C-phone
Keystrokes still uses C-phones. I use one every day.
A phone with SGS
was enough to make me run. The person on the phone used such poor English, poor grammar and was rude on top of it. Not for me!
C-phone
I recently applied to Keystrokes. They have open positions but require a C-phone which I don't have. I went to E-bay and see many different kinds. Which kind do I need? TIA.
C-phone
Can anyone tell me exactly what a C-phone is or does?
Oh, I would be on the phone all right!!
Every single time I ran out of work - even if my line count was close to the required. I would ask for work BEFORE they charged me! Would drive your point home I think.

K&R Consulting -
Do you have to use a C-phone
to work for them? Seems like I remember that from an ad a long time ago, but not sure. Thanks! Do they have an ad up somewhere for MTs?
You can rent a C-phone from them. sm
I'm not sure about a computer rental. If your account is not on wav files, you'll have to pay long distance. There are a lot of flat rate plans through many companies.
You can't access the patient's old files through Bayscribe.
Pay is anywhere from 9 to 11 cpl.
Great place to work!
Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
