Re: Huh?
I blame the phone company for making us pay $25 for a 'basic' phone line. |

It's different from market to market, though....

I'm sorry I lied a little.
It's actually $18.26
Dial tone line 6.97
Federal sub. line chg 6.25
Non published line fee 2.75
USF fee .73
Fed excise tax .48
PA relay surcharge 1.00
E911 1.56
Total = 18.26
Now this is a completely stripped down line I use only for incoming calls, and toll free calls. No caller ID, no 3 way, nothing. All calls are charged a per minute rate, and no LD.
If I didn't have the unpublished number (I have the number unpublished due to my profession. Come to think of it, I think I just found a new write off
!) The total would be $15.51 a month.
I went back to POTS for 2 reasons. First was my terrible 911 experience with Vonage. Second, I never used my home phone for anything other than 800 calls and 911, so why not get a POTS line and have the reliability of it?
If I had a scanner, I could scan my last bill for you to prove it, but I don't...
