You know this is bullshit .. the Qwest phone company claims it has nothing to with USBI,yet right here on my qwest phone bill i am looking at a charge totaling $15.91 !!! how the hell can qwest not have a connection with USBI yet as a service to USBI they provide me with a $15.14 charge on my phone bill !!!

what the f*k over?!!! please figure this out somebody, my friend has told me that she got the same thing happening on her bill and my fortune teller tells me its an act of terrorism , i dont even think this is really possible the phone company *Qwest and

**USBI are not connected yet as a service they are allowing this to happen hmmm... i got this story about this guy who ripped off a lot of money by getting a partner to go in biz. with him and skamed alot of money and then when somebody called him on it his so-called biz partner ran off with all of the loot , funny thing tho,...there never was a BIZ partner at all. Great story huh? what do you think ? my guess goes like this, QWEST is a punk a*s rip off company. It needs to be dealt with and removed from the oppurtunity to continue this bullshitting, skamsville show they call QWEST phone service aka USBI aka tralee tel. co

Being an ex-employee of Qwest, I can also agree with you that USBI, ESBI, Vartec, and all the other third party billers are quite simply a ripoff, but let me widen your narrow mind with a little history: Qwest is an ILEC, or Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier, also a BOC, or Bell Operating Company. Simply, they own all of the phones lines in our areas. CLECs, or Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, are all of the other resellers like Cox and McCleod who lease our phone network. Being the ILEC means heavy regulation, including FCC mandates to providing equal access to the network for CLECs. They are also mandated by the FCC to accept billing contracts with third party vendors, so they are required to display the USBI charges on their bill. Deal with USBI, where the problem started. P.S.- Where did you learn grammar, Tacoma?

To seek credit for the calls you do need to call USBI so that they can forward credits to Qwest for the charges -

I work for another phone company and can tell you that by law qwest has to bill the usbi charges on there statement and that there is no other relationship between qwest and usbi. The why that the agreement is set up is that qwest pays the charges on your behalf to USBI and in turn bills them to you. On the statement you got from qwest it should have a contact number for usbi to get further details of what the charges are for. Often times USBI will charge for collect and third party calls. To seek credit for the calls you do need to call USBI so that they can forward credits to Qwest for the charges -
