[TenTec] Was omni vi help

[Mike Bryce]

Bill and the group

right now, unless someone has more insider information than I have…. well here goes

service is $140 first hour
$125 second hour billed in 15 minute increments

depending on where the base line starts, taking to a Ten Tec service person will cost between $35 and $31 per 15 minutes of chat time.

Which is still cheaper than Miss Cleo.

I have read nothing about the rates of phone support. It might be cheaper than the above rates. Then who knows maybe Ten Tec might be working on setting up a call center in India so you can talk to “Bob” when you have a issue with your new radio.

A man with one clock knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure.
