I asked for a massage in my local city and they did not have anyone only recommending local sports clubs. On another occasion I asked for a Barber which they gave but does that mean its a gay Barbers? Finally on there website they claim on there phone service they offer Gay services, what could they be?

Sounds like you need a ‘yellow pages’ Much more reliable P&P

"Tiny Iowa, with just under 3 million residents last year, was the recipient of $86.5 million from the USF. The USF pays for maintenance and improvements to those local telephone plants, in addition to subsidizing user fees for local residents. The cost basis to provide service in those communities is dramatically lowered."

Iowa is a pretty white state so I don’t mind. I don’t mind if my tax dollars go to help poor white people but I don’t appriciate it going to darkies

I would like to learn more about India from people who live there. Is it acceptable to ring up customer service and ask the technician in India about his country?

No. If you really want to learn more about India you should join groups that cater towards learning about different cultures. Calling someone on the phone for the specific reason of asking them about their country, it is not only unnecessary (on their end) but it could be a grounds for dismissal. Their job is to help you in something that they are trained to handle. Asking anything otherwise is a waste of their time, and it makes you look bad. Think about it. Its just like asking a 911 operator "Should I wear blue dress socks or stick with black?" It doesn’t make sense because it has nothing to do with their job description. Go to the proper place to learn more, or read about it online or go to the library.

Hello,

Thanks for checking out my question.

I am looking for a telephone service provider - traditional or VOIP - that can block local/long distance and international calls when that caller’s number is in a given list of numbers OR when that call is from a private number.

My definition of "block" is when the call can’t reach your phone nor your voice-mail.

Anyone know of a provider that has such a service?

I am with Sprint, and they can block local/long distance phone numbers from a given list but NOT private calls, which is kind of stupid since the caller can simply block their numbers when calling. Hence, I am looking for another provider.

Thanks in advance. Any info would be much appreciated.
Also, are there any VOIP providers that have SMS/text service?

My VoIP provider has anonymous call rejection and you can create a list of numbers to block.
It seems that just about anybody with VoIP service can do that, but maybe not. Try http://www.8×8.com but be sure to check out phone power.

My landline is for exceptional and emergency calling only, and is always local. For long distance (either from my laptop or a landline) I use Skype. It seems to me that signing up with a LD carrier is a completely unnecessary redundancy.

Not only is it unnecessary, but if you DO choose a long distance company for that line, that long distance company will CHARGE you, even if you never make a long distance call!

They started doing that many years ago, and I called my phone company and told them to remove all long distance service from my phone and to put a note on my account to NEVER allow any long distance phone service on that line, even if some company claims I gave permission, because I will never give such permission.

If you need to make a long distance call, you can always use one of the thousands of 10-10 numbers. And by doing so, you can select different long distance companies for every single call.

Don’t let the phone company assign ANY long distance company to your land line, or you will be charged by them, even if you never make a long distance call!

I have tried several sites,but they just wanted to much money for what they had to offer,also the same goes for telephone free services,what a joke,I have been trying to get free telephone local services,from several sites,and to no avail,can I even achieve this. I am Truly stumped.
Sincerely,
Deano

Expensive? Netflix online costs me $8 a month. Hulu Plus is $10 a month.

My Comcast cable bill is over $100. True, I’ve signed up for lots of bells and whistles, but still.

Is the office service provider another tenant of the facility or a shared employee or are the tenants members of a co-operative? How are shared utilities - hydro, wireless internet, water, heat, photocopier, fax, and security allocated by tenant? Who does the remittances and who obtains the software licences and what is the basis for the accounting, payroll software, direct deposit, etc. What about telephone service - local and long distance.

If you are still using the traditional fax machine in your office, I would suggest to shift on internet faxing service because it is more practical to save expenses from faxing documents.

Is there a local courier service that delivers within the kingdom? I’m not interested in DHL, TNT, Aramex or FedEx. I need a local service that’ll be cheaper than the companies I mentioned. An address or telephone number will also be appreciated.
I live in Jeddah.

These are actually all local Saudi businesses that operate under names like "Fedex" and "DHL" through franchising/licensing agreements.
