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.

Universal Service Fund Fee makes IP voice even more cost-effective

The Universal Service Fund fee for interstate and International calls will be raised from 11% 4th Quarter 2009 to 15.3% for second quarter 2010. This increase translates to lots of additional cost for call centers and companies with high state to state usage. And, it applies to wireless traffic, too.



The USF -- established by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 -- subsidizes phone service for schools, libraries, rural health care organization and low-income subscribers. This charge has been steadily increasing from 9.5% in the first quarter of 2009.



However, this fee does NOT apply to most carrier-provided IP voice. So, not is a good time to review current telecom expenditures and consider the switch from TDM to IP-based voice services.
