Van over at Worldnet Blog put up a great post on 6 online traps that sites may throw at you when shopping for telecom services.

Here they are..

1. Watch out for billing tricks.  Ask what is the billing increment the carrier will use?

2.  Beware of sites that show a listing of carriers and their rates.

3.  If you're interested in a name brand carrier, ATT, Verizon, Sprint or Qwest, be prepared to deal with a call center telemarketer.

4.  Be careful of the one size fits all type of plans.

5.  Is the site only offering business VOIP service?

6.  Sites that offer for you to fill out a form.
