Companies Are Firing Employees For Making Long Distance Phone Calls From Company Phones

While looking through news articles in the Telecom industry, I've seen a handful of issues that were related to employee theft with regard to long distance phone calls. Companies are actually firing employees for making phone calls on the company phones that the company ends up footing the bill for. These companies are figuring out ways to track their employee's phone calls by using long distance access codes or with products such as Telemate.
