- VOIP TAX
- SALES TAX
I'm in Atlanta, GA... Since when do Georgians get hit with all these taxes??
My Vonage bill went up nearly $4 this month on taxes alone.
I've got the $24.99 Unlimited Service and 2 virtual numbers. No international cslls or add ons at all.
My total bill was nearly $43.00 including almost $9 IN TAX.
WOW -- And I thought BellSouth was bad with taxes.
I must say, as a Vonage customer for almost 3 years, I'm SHOCKED!! |
