| montano, I can't believe that you have fallen for this crap trap! do you complain at the grocery store when the price on the shelf is not the price at the checkout? Do you complain at the car dealer when the price in the newspaper is not the price on the bill of sale? Do you complain at Best Buy when the price on the CD is not the price at the cash register?
Taxes have been around since the 1700s.
Get used to it!

They don't have a big sign on the window that says 'FREE', and then charge me once I get in the store. |

| How dare they. Me and many of my buds have been enjoying private phone lines hidden from our better halves at a cost of around $2 to $3 a month and now they want to charge a monthly fee to have an inbound DID. Where's a $500/hr lawyer when you need one.
Let's drag them out of the basement and hang them on the yard arm! 
Ok. so they have been giving us good quality for next to nothing and the tax man finds a way to take it away.
Thanks Voicestick.
I'll keep the service. |

said by montano :I know before hand that I will be paying taxes now you know. now everyone knows. taxes apply to telecom. if you're not being taxed, then your carrier is eating it; when they are deciding between continuing to eat the taxes and continuing to eat, you will start to pay the taxes.

I disagree. Are all these fees really going to the govt? Maybe eventually they will but I dont think now.
I also agree with montano. If I chose to purchase something from say Amazon over BestBuy, one of the reason is the price difference from taxes. Voicestick N2N plan was a great deal, now they are charging for everything, incoming calls, calling voicemail, checking voicemail, double billing i2bridge calls etc. And a lot of their issues have not been resolved -i.e. some people still cannot access voicemail prompts from outside lines by pressing asterisk (issue for over 2 months)/
Voicestick has a right to make money but there service, reliability and policies have really degraded over the past 2 months making them less attractive than many (not all) of their voip competitors. |
