Default Re: Embarq Telephone Bill
My guess is you're stuck paying the tax. I think all of these phone taxes are close to usury! A cell plan for $39 per month winds up costing $50 or more. That's 25% taxes and fees!

If I am not mistaken, they hit you double as they charge you for the block of LD calls. I had Embarq while I had my house in the property management program, but ditched it in favor of a Magic Jack phone and our cells once we took the house out of the program. Magic Jack is only $30 (or something like that) a year! Embarq'll run over $250.
