the overhead they charge for “planning”. This is more like a $400 to $500 job max, I can’t spend $300 “planning.”<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">They wanted hours (2 min I think) of conf calls and planning at a pretty high rate just to talk about what I wanted to do. There would be more money spent “planning the project”
than just doing the work. I am all for specifications and project planning for something that will take more than 4 or 5 hours or is in some way vague, but that is not required on simple jobs. They are just priced out of my reach, I wish they were not but
I don’t have hundreds of users to pass this on to. I would rather send the FS team the money than anyone else, but not at that premium.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We want to hire someone for a few hours to get a configuration working with FS and Cisco SPA504G phones.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have all the basics working great for FS on SPA phones. We need a single DID number to ring on 3 line buttons on 2 different phones. If a call is placed on hold on phone 1,
it must be picked up on phone 2. The customer claims the staff is too stupid to use call parking.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think this really needs to be someone who knows both FS and Cisco SPA phones. There are just too many possible parameter combos for us to work it out.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Contact me directly if you can handle the task and have availability soon.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
