Connectivity to the Platform through an unauthorized Proxy Service or unauthorized VPN Service is strictly prohibited.

Additionally, Satellite, Microwave, and Cellular Hotspot Internet Services are not permitted.

Hard-wired land line telephone service

Unless stated otherwise in the opportunity announcement, most client programs are compatible with the following types

of services: POTS (plain old telephone service), cable telephony, digital service, or business class VoIP.

The service should be connected directly from the wall to your telephone.

Soft phones and cell phones are not permitted.

The servicing telephone line should not interface at any point with the computer.

All servicing telephone lines should not have voicemail, fax, or other features on the line (other than unlimited long

Call centers and agents have the option to use either a POTS line (plain old telephone service) or VoIP (aka digital telephone or cable telephony) to service a client program. However, call centers and agents servicing client programs that route calls through the AVG system will need to be able to dial into the AVG (786) number.

Call Centers and agents who do not have Miami area code phone numbers (305 or 786) will need to be able to dial long distance on their service lines which may result in long distance charges. For that reason, bulk or unlimited long-distance service plans are recommended and available from most carriers to avoid per-minute charges.

A small number of client programs currently prohibit the use of VoIP while servicing and a POTS line will be required to service those programs. If the client program does not currently allow VoIP, agents will not be servicing on AVG.

Please be sure to review the opportunity announcement in detail to see if AVG is required on the client program you select.
