Review

"...I just finished reading your book and have one thing to say... it's about time!" "I hope that all customers and test personnel get a chance to read this." -- Angel Feliciano, Vice President of the Communications Workers of America, Local 1101

"Finally, a book that answers the most common questions about telephones and telephone service. An essential reference book for both consumers and technicians, that is well written and easy to understand. Everyone should have a copy of this book." -- Beverly Copeland, Syndicated Newspaper Columnist & Host, Public Access Cable TV Show: The Beverly Copeland Report

"Loved the book [Telephone Desk Reference]. It is amazing how many times I've wanted to throw the phone into the wall, but now I might be able to resolve the situation and intercept such violent temptations." -- A. Jardine, NH

5.0 out of 5 stars The Telephone Trouble Shooting Desk Reference, March 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Telephone Troubleshooting Desk Reference (Paperback)
I found this book to be a great reference tool to keep handy near the phone. It includes various tests that you can try if your phone is not working. The language is user-friendly and anyone can use it to trouble shoot phone problems before they call their telephone company and end up losing a work day. I strongly recommend this book for every household and even as a quick reference for telephone technicians.

4.0 out of 5 stars Telephone Troubleshooting Desk Reference review, August 28, 2007

L. Kaske (Sioux Falls, SD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Telephone Troubleshooting Desk Reference (Paperback)
This book appeared to be highly recommended from quite a range of people on the web, so I took a chance for $5.00 and it was worth it.
It's a very simplified troubleshooting reference that doesn't get bogged down with technical jargon.
Very good references to real world situations that any telephone user could experience at any given time.
This book should help out an everyday phone user that is having problems as well as help out a technical support representative working for a communications company. All situations are explained and laid out quite well - it helps customers understand why the phone company may ask such odd questions as "what time of the day was the call placed?" and that they aren't just asking those things to be a bother - they really do want to get things fixed on their end.
Overall - a good book for a good price and it's an easy read. Hardly any time invested in reading it - it moves quick and is pretty interesting for a troubleshooting reference guide!!
