Did you know that your telephone carrier can call someone at your office, offer them a “deal” of some sorts and bind your company to a three year contract?  Verizon does this regularly.  The only way you learn of this is from carefully reading your phone bill the next month.  Most people never learn about this until they want to cancel a few phone lines during a downturn.  They then learn that they need to pay cancellation charges.

Protect yourself!  Simply associate a password on all your telecom accounts to prevent people without the authority from making these kinds of decisions.
