Sharenet Communications - National Brands - GARY JOSEPH, VICE PRESIDENT Regarding local phone bill. I came across some Preditor charges that were attached when I made some local collect calls from a hospital to my home. they claim I spoke a total of 99 minutes at the tune of 3.55 a minute for a total cost of 271.71 plus a additional 79.90 dollars not sure why. ripoff Phoenix Arizona

WHILE BEING HOSPITALIZED I MADE 12 COLLECT CALLS DURING THE MONTH OF APRIL. THESE CALLS WERE TO MY HOME AND CONSIDERED LOCAL CALLS.

WHEN I RECIEVED MY TELEPHONE BILL I ALMOST ENDED BACK IN THE HOSPITAL. I WAS TOTALL SHOCKED WHEN I SAW THE 351.61 DOLLARS I WAS BEING BILLED FOR THE COLLECT BY A COMPANY CALLED INTEGRATEL.

THEY CLAIM I TALKED FOR A TOTAL 99 MINUTES AT THE TUNE OF $3.51 CENTS A MINUTE. HENCE A $271.11 CHARGE FOR THE CALLS AND $79.69
UNIV SVC FND.

RESULTS OF MY INQUIRIES TO MY LOCAL PHONE COMPANY QWEST, INTEGRATEL AND SHARENET COMMUNICATIONS CAUSED BAD THOUGHTS TO GO THROUGH MY MIND.

WHY CAN'T ANYTHING BE SIMPLE ANYMORE. IF I HAVE A b***h ABOUT SOMETHING I AM INTITLED TO EXPRESS IT RIGHT? WELL THESE SNEAKY, UNREGULATED BUSINESSES KNOW THIS, HOWEVER THEY MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO DO SO.

I HAD TO FIRST GO THROUGH MY LOCAL PHONE BECAUSE THE CHARGES WERE ON MY BILL. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT INTEGRATEL IS CONTRACTED WITH QWEST TO OFFER WHAT I CALL PREDITOR SERVICES THROUGH A COMPANY CALLED SHARENET COMMUNICATIONS A NATIONAL BRANDS,
INC.COMPANY.

THIS IS WELL THOUGHT OUT PROCESS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY. FIRST YOUR LOCAL PHONE COMPANY PLAYS THE INNOCENT, BY CLAIMING ITS NOT THEM CHARGING YOU THE OFF THE WALL CHAREGES.

THEN INTEGRATEL PLAYS THE IGNORENT, BY CLAIMING THEY ARE SORRY BUT Y0U DID MAKE THE CALLS, BUT ARE WILLING TO OFFER YOU UP TO
50% CREDIT TOWARD YOUR BILL.

NOW SHARENET COMMUNICATIONS, THIS IS THE SNAKE. I FOR ONE BELIEVE IN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY THAT LEADS TO A BETTER LIFE.

HOWEVER, TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE IS DOWN RIGHT GREED. DUDE, EVEN IF YOU
CHARGED $1.00 A MINUTE YOU WOULD MAKE MONEY.

I SEE YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION TO REDUCE THE PUCO TARIFF NO.1, WHICH IS PERSON TO PERSON CALLS DOWN TO $2.75 CENTS. DAMM THAT MUST HURT.
