Phone Service 2
As previously stated, phone service is a rip-off. Large companies charge lots of money for simple services with poor customer service. Nonetheless, there are some deals that are better than others. I used to use AT&T for local and regional calls, and Isterra/Primus for long distance. After taxes, the former was roughly $54 and the latter varied, but was usually in the $5-$10 range.
I just signed up for IDT's America Unlimited plan. The pretax cost of the plan is $39.95, and includes unlimited local, regional, and long distance calls, plus Caller ID, Call Waiting w/Name, 3-way Calling, and more. Here in NY, the expected monthly charge (after taxes) is roughly $55. (FYI, the service is available in NY, NJ, PA, MD, NH, WV, MA, RI, DE, and ME.)
If you're interested in signing up, call 800-296-5402, then press 3. If you tell them I referred you, I'll get $20 credited to my account.
Comments
It looks like IDT has cancelled their America Unlimited plan. Although we still have the service on our existing phone line, I cannot sign up a new line. Do you know anything about why they have removed the plan? It looks like digital phone through Time Warner is now the leader in bargain phone service. :(
