Yup. And he actually lied to you... the path charges (actually called PSTN connections in the Bell Tariff) are as follows
Connections 1 thru 5 - $17.30 / month each Connections 6 and up - $28.84 / month each Also sounds like he is also lying to you about the Centrex line charge. Standard (tariffed) pricing for Centrex, assuming that you have less than 100 lines in one wire centre are: Month to Month : $43.05 / month 1 year contract : $40.90 / month 3 year contract : $38.75 / month 5 year contract : $36.55 / month For these reasons, we have never found that Centrex was a viable option.

The person said that we need to get Centrex line for $49 and then we can add as many "paths" for forwarding as we want at $17/path. He said that we'll be able to control forwarding on busy, no answer, and always forward.

Some switches have a number of forwards allowed, others are set more restrictively. It's all just a setting though. I'd politely ask them to do it and if they refuse, port the number to Unlimitel, or the SIP provider of your choice and let them know that you are doing this precisely because of their arrogance. -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
