Don't fall victim to incorrect carrier billing!

The New Jersey state government has paid more than $3.2 million annually for more than 19,000 phone lines that had gone unused and were no longer needed, according to an audit released Wednesday by the Office of the State Comptroller.

In response to the audit's findings, state agencies have disconnected or suspended each of the lines.

The audit of the state's Office of Information Technology (OIT), also found the state has been renewing some of its major telecommunications contracts for more than a decade without opening the contracts up to competition as required by law.

Don't let this happen to you! Let TelecoWorks help review your current invoices and keep your carrier honest. Don't forget to alert current telecom providers not to auto renew at the end of the contract term. Give yourself the freedom to investigate new technologies and new lower priced providers.
