AccessLine is on the move!!!

Yesterday, Accessline announced that they received $8M in venture funding. This, on top of the recent news about them offering VOIP services in a regional build-out plan. Sounds like they are moving in a methodical and reasonable fashion.
 
I've been impressed with their operations for a long time. They have a clear strategy to address the mid-tier market with a high-end offering and a small business offering as well. They aren't trying to shoehorn in a one size fits all solution.
 
Having said that, their small business offering is more up the alley of this blog and our team has set a TBG alert about AccessLine.biz's pricing policies. They spend a lot of time stating that there are no hidden fees. Actually, it's quite strange that they spend such an obvious effort in this area. Then, they go ahead and charge 30 second minimum call billing, charge for both legs of a connected inbound toll free call, and require a customer to configure rather complex and expensive arrangements of their different products.

Go figger!
