Cleartel No Longer In Business

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Cleartel communications is no longer in business. They were bought last year by Birch Communications. If you go to Cleartel’s old phone service website, there is a page up that says Birch will continue to provide service for Cleartel customers, but since they are no longer paying commissions to agents who brought the customers to Cleartel in the first place, if you’re an old Cleartel customer, you should leave their service on principal.

Agents work hard to find the best-cheapest phone service for their customers, and when those companies quit paying their agents, or don’t pay the agents that go with the customers that they aquire through consolidation with other phone companies, I think it’s crooked. They know they’re stealing from the very people who brought the customer to the table in the first place, which makes them a company that you can’t trust to work with in the future.

Cleartel Agent Links Down

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Does anyone know why Cleartel’s agent site links aren’t working? I know they got tired of signing up local residential traffic, so they moved to business accounts only, but did they quit taking businesses too?

Drop me a line if you know the answer…

Cleartel Now Only Accepting Business Accounts

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I forgot to mention awhile back, that Cleartel has switch away from offering local phone service to residential customers, and is now only offering local plans to business customers. I can see why, when you consider that 90% of the online residential orders that were placed with Cleartel fell through, either for bad credit, or bad credit. Did I say Bad Credit yet?

Hopefully the move to Cleartel’s online business customer signup only will take care of that mess, since the bad credit costs on the residential customers, who signed up online, is the reason that Cleartel got rid of most of their online agents.

For those of you who are interested, I checked local service business rates with Cleartel this morning, for a customer in Illinois, and the rates were pretty good. Cleartel offered 2 local calling plans to choose from. The firsts was $29.95 per month for unlimited local calling plus 2 phone features. And they offered a second plan that added 2000 minutes of monthly long distance to the service for only an additional $10.00 per month. If you used all the minutes, that would be like getting your long distance service for 2 cents per minute.

If you’re a business customer, and your interested in getting some local service quotes, you might want to get one from Cleartel to see if they can save you some money.
