[PLUG] VoIP question [RESOLVED]

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Are you saying then that you have a Panasonic telephone with a POTS
connection that is plugged into some kind of Ziply box and they are only
charging $15 a month for?

Ted,

The $15/mo on the Ziply bill for my existing Panasonic phone with removable
handset replaces the federal, state, county, and other taxes that were on
the bill when the phone was connected by copper to Ziply. The ISP monthly
charges didn't change. Neither did the voice mail.

When I asked Ziply's business billing support about that fee I was told it
applied to only the VoIP connection.

HTH,

Rich
