One thing this guy forgot to mention was that with Vonage – if you lose your power/cable..you don’t have any phone service! With the Verizon plans, the service is carried over land lines. If you lose your power you can still use Verizon Freedom. Vonage is certainly cheaper (and a good service I might add)..but I personally like the security of Verizon Freedom plans because I live in the sticks

I signed up with the Verizon Freedom Essentials and the FiOS all at once. I just found out today that Verizon actually raised the Essentials to $44.99. Sure it’s only a $5.04 raise, but I only signed up with them a couple of months ago. I called them up an the representative claimed that they had included a notice of the increase in the previous months bill envelope. Not on the bill of course.. no.. in some accompaning notice in the envelope. Normally I just throw that junk out, so I have no way of knowing if in fact they had put anything in there. I also question what people that opted for the paperless billing would have received. Eh… not much I can do about it, but it sure smells like bait and switch to me.
