Comments on: Analog phone service for merchant service update? http://merchantagents.com/merchant-service/analog-phone-service-for-merchant-service-update Thu, 18 Nov 2010 21:02:59 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Carl N http://merchantagents.com/merchant-service/analog-phone-service-for-merchant-service-update/comment-page-1#comment-1511 Carl N Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:17:59 +0000 http://merchantagents.com/merchant-service/analog-phone-service-for-merchant-service-update#comment-1511 Some merchants, read BOA, tend to be anal about what you "ought" to have. If your credit card machine is of the analog variety, you need to either update it by connecting to an analog line, or get a networked machine or use a web based service. Some of my customers use authorize.net, some just found a bank that takes the Verifone Vx-570 http://www.verifone.com/countertop.aspx which lets them use both dial up or ethernet interfaces. Even the wholesale club of the China box store has an inexpensive merchant processing sysem that probably interfaces to the network. Unless BOA gives you great service, I'd just find another bank.

EDIT: you are saying that you can not get analog phone service in the US... or NY... analog phone service is regular landline telephone service... i still do 8-10 repairs on landline phone lines every day in NY... so I do not understand how you claim that analog phone service is not available in NY... all home/business phone service is analog except for VoIP...<br><b>References : </b><br> what are you talking about in america nobody uses analog phone service??

sure VoIP is gaining popularity with consumers across the country, but there are still plenty of POTS (plain old telephone service) lines – which are just normal landlines, which are analog…

most businesses that have a credit card machine, fax, dial up modem, ATM machine, alarm system etc… should have at least one (analog) landline phone line for such uses….

what could you possibly complain about? that the telephone network has been around for over 100 years, and 100% of the population have access to reasonable priced service to this network, but because you moved your business over to some VoIP service, and did not leave any analog lines in your business for fax or credit card machines that it is somehow the responsibility, or problem of your merchant banker?

EDIT: you are saying that you can not get analog phone service in the US… or NY… analog phone service is regular landline telephone service… i still do 8-10 repairs on landline phone lines every day in NY… so I do not understand how you claim that analog phone service is not available in NY… all home/business phone service is analog except for VoIP…
