Only .029 cents a minute? I thought you'd made a typo..but then see by subsequent posts it's legit. That's amazing! With YAK I pay .10 cents a minute. I rarely make LD calls ...but you're making the TS home phone very appealing :)
Just to be specific, it's not 0.029 cents/minute. That's something that Verizon misquotes »verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12···nts.html.

The rate is 0.029 dollars per minute (or 2.9 cents per minute) which is still slightly better than YAK's 3.5 cents per minute.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234906 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:32:49 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234861 TSI Andre : That's what I do ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234861 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:24:56 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234857 jackie999 : Thanks TSI_Andre ..pm sent..you're making it impossible for me to say no :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234857 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:23:46 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234808 drjp81 : As a TSI customer I can tell you: NO.

25 dollar setup fee, then you are good to go.
No contract.

Long distance at cheap rates: free feature.

Other features ~ 3$ a pop.

Are there hidden fees like you get with bell? For instance, if you have one of their plans, you're hit with a system fee automatically...

I should wait a month until the DSL is changed over..or?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234712 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:56:52 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234677 anon : OLF in Quebec states that you have to speak normal volume in French & whisper in English... or else you might get a fine. same applies for signs/company logos French twice as big as English.... bla bla...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234677 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:50:13 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234595 R0CKY : LOL]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234595 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:36:44 EDT Re: Teksavvy home phone activation fee? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21234587 TSI Andre :

Unfortunately, we are unable to waive the $25.00 activation fee for the phone service. This is a cost directly from Bell.

My bell contract expires in 30 days so I'm getting a head start.
My question, I see teksavvy also offers a home phone. At the moment I'm with bells basic (I don't even have tone dial) I think it's around $23 plus taxes. I use YAK so no LD system access fee either.
I'm very tempted to switch to teksavvy but wonder about the $25 activation fee?
Is the activation fee waived if you already have their DSL service?
