			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cleartel communications is no longer in business. They were bought last year by Birch Communications. If you go to Cleartel&#8217;s old <a title="local phone service" href="http://www.calling-plans.com/local-telephone-service.htm">phone service</a> website, there is a page up that says <a title="Birch not paying agent commissions" href="http://cleartel.com">Birch</a> 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&#8217;re an old Cleartel customer, you should leave their service on principal.</p>
<p>Agents work hard to find the best-cheapest phone service for their customers, and when those companies quit paying their agents, or don&#8217;t pay the agents that go with the customers that they aquire through consolidation with other phone companies, I think it&#8217;s crooked. They know they&#8217;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&#8217;t trust to work with in the future.</p>
