Re: insanity

Seems I remember them charging a fee for not having a LD provider a while back when they were Bell Atlantic. I think this is a fee for having Verizon LD, but not using it.

Customer has 'a la carte' long distance service (i.e. has long distance service on a pay per minute).
While I don't completely agree with the service fee, its similar to charging a $2 minimum for any LD service.
The worst part was having to pay extra to have it cancelled.

Pretty much everything is a la carte.

Or just get rid of the long distance ont he line, like I have, no fees each month.
no! that's the $2 fee this story is talking about!
if you have no long-distance provider on your line, you will be charged $2.
No. Look at the bill posted. "VERIZON LONG DISTANCE" implies that the customer has some sort of relationship with VERIZON LONG DISTANCE which you are not obligated to have.
