Re: As well it should

the fee youare mentioning are for 5 lines not one

Regulatory Recovery Fee $4.95 .99 X 5
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $4.95 .99 X5
State Telecommunications Sales Tax $8.15 1.63 X 5
Federal Universal Service Fee $5.99 1.19 X 5
County 911 Fee $5.00 1.00 X 5
State E911 Fee $5.00 1.00 X 5

Before you start trying to make the fees look larger than they are make sure you show the true cost First

Are you kidding me? $30 sum dollars in fees on top of the monthly subscription? Isn't the monthly subscription like $25? This makes fees more than the subscription...
I forgot to add, it's for 5 phone lines. Over site on my part.

Based on the rate calculator on Vonage's website for Franklin, TN, your rates, if that is where you have service, should be:

Monthly Service Charge
Monthly Service Charge $24.99
State/Local Taxes and Fees $3.75
FUSF (VoIP) $2.02
County 911 Fee $1.00
Regulatory Recovery Fee $0.99
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $0.99
Total $33.74

I'm not calling BS on what was posted, but everyone else should realize the rates he posted are no where in line with what most other Vonage users have posted here at BBR and Vonage Forums.
This is exactly why people went voip. bullshit fees!
i remember when 24.99 vonage was 24.99 out the door!
*sigh*

The Vonage additions here in NJ:

Regulatory Recovery Fee - $0.99
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery - $0.99
Sales Tax - $2.03
Federal Universal Service Fee - $2.02
State 911 Fee - $0.90

Interesting how the "Federal Universal Service Fee" varies so widely.

Regulatory Recovery Fee $4.95

That's the fee that customers should be suing Vonage over. That's a non-government fee. It's the cost of doing business and they pass it on as a "fee" instead of raising prices.

I'm a 5 year Vonage customer and have just about had it with these "fees".

---------------------------------------------
Regulatory Recovery Fee $1.98
Emergency 911 Cost Recovery $1.98
Federal Universal Service Fee $3.30
State Communications Service Tax $2.36
State 911 Fee $1.50

If look over my Vonage bill history, it started out small with just a little tax FET and Regulatory Recovery Fee.

Oct 2006 is when the Federal Universal Service Fee started for all of us Vonage folk and stayed every since.

I find the irony in that Vonage has remained the same price, it's only the tax and fees and local whatever they can add part that inflates the price so much.

I don't like paying a fee for a service I'm not using. Why should I? As if the Deathstar can't/won't afford to deploy POTS. What a load of hooey.
