Many customers prefer plastic but the fees can add up. If you are like many companies who are processing cards by calling in to a home office and key entering the credit card data you are paying too much and opening yourself up to possible card disputes that cost you more. But what are you to do? Wireless terminals are so expensive and they have limited coverage.
NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!
Wireless terminals have become more affordable and reliable. You might even have an existing cel phone that could attach a card swipe device so that you can qualify for better rates.
I provide FREE Payment Systems Analysis for Tow Businesses. My clients are enjoying lower rates, better service, and more payment options.

I make an imprint of every card on a credit slip that the customer signs before I call the card in. It's pretty difficult to dispute that the card was there when you have the imprint and the signature.
Alos, if the customer has their copy of the imprint, they are much less likely to be "tempted" to not pay, i.e. dispute the transaction. I also treat credit cards just like cash, it must be run BEFORE service is provided.
EXCELLENT Jason. It is mandatory that you imprint when you are using a manual type transaction. You are correct that it does discourage chargebacks. And it is always smart to authorize the card before you perform services.
With the wireless equipment you can get better rates and reduce risk because you are able to electronically transmit data back to VISA/MC and that is the lowest rate tier. For example with the swiped rates I was able to reduce a recent clients cost by 38% and switching to my processing he had his funds in the bank in one business day which really helped his cash flow.
Any questions any of you may have please feel free to email or call me at 888.245.2577
Thanks!!!!!

I looked into wireless terminals before, but found the network that they used had poor coverage in my area.
What wireless network do your terminals use?
That was the issue with wireless terminals of the past. Besides being expensive they had limited networks and poor coverage.
Now there are multiple options for wireless payments. I currently provide equipment that works on NEXTEL, Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, TMobile and Comstar. Basically if you get cel phone coverage you should be able to get a signal to do a transaction to process credit cards and checks.
The pricing for the new wireless terminals start as low as $199 much better than the past when they were retailing for over $1700.
I had this same question a few months ago. I turned down 5 calls a month do to not having a credit card machince. I pay a monthly note for the wireless machine but its well worth it.
Check out what some of your friends are using a good from there. No price is a good price to pay when buying a machine. You are mainly paying for a piece of mind while you use it. That lets you know I'm paying to much for my machine! 
You have a choise to make, lose a call or get all the calls you can? 
Have you been waiting to get the new wireless credit card terminals to find the lowest price? Well your wait is over!
