clubs: | using CallVantage for voip? there's your problem...
I have to say that using CallVantage by AT&T instead of one of the numerous other voip options is a big part of your problem. I'd recommend trying another provider.... | |

I'm using a pay as you go voip provider. No unfees. e911 is available for 1.50/month if I want it. | |

Laguna Hills, CA | Re: using CallVantage for voip? there's your problem... Which provider do you have that offers 9-1-1 as an option? It's mandatory with my provider (Viatalk) and I don't need it. With the problems with Viatalk I'm looking to switch. | |

Edit: doesn't mention nomadic 911 but clearly implies e911. Name number and address info must be transmitted.

| I can accept the 911 fees since they are for a service that is now mandated and which wasn't when most VOIP providers defined their pricing models. However, AT&T states: "This fee helps AT&T recover costs associated with providing state-to-state and international long distance service ..." which means that they are charging this new fee to cover the costs of the core service that they exist to provide. This is just a price increase by any other name. | |

Sounds silly, yet this is the "new ATT". | |

| Broadvoice does this too! The "BYOB $5.95 Month Plan" is over $11.00 with addons like the $2.50 regulatory recovery fee. I switched to Broadvoice from Vonage for the better pricing only to find they are MORE expensive after the thinly disclosed "fees" that are not included in the advertising. | |
