Re: Locked in yearly plans....

Well, ironically enough, if you use Vonage, or any major VoIP company, you'll notice you already ARE paying more, you just have no tax on VoIP, and no tax means lesser bill. For example, standard phone service might cost $21, but you have 911 tax, USF, State and Local tax, Long Distance carrier charges, and then the features, turns into $46 real easily. Soon VoIP will be no exception, but I have my own VoIP switch, so all my phones features were made by me. I have no problem paying a tad bit more, considering I have unlimited inbound termination (meaning I have MORE than call waiting, I have que's, lol, $35 paid for the WHOLE YEAR!). I could care less, as long as it remains resonable, then I'll switch to cellphone.

Re: Locked in yearly plans....

My average phone bill was around $85 which included local calling package, long distance, and DSL. Take out the ~32 for DSL and associated fees and I'm down to around $53/month. I just renewed my VT subscription for a year for $99, or 8.25 a month. Even if they start tossing a few fees like a $1.75 USF, I'm still 1/5th my old bill.

$21???!! I'm moving to Florida if that's true! Here in Kentucky, $21.00 won't even get you dialtone from BellSouth. Much less, 3 way calling, voicemail, caller ID, unlimited long distance, unlimited in state calling, etc. I'll keep my Vonage thank you very much.
