Only got my FIOS statement today. There's a $55 cost for 17 units of strong dialed calls towards the UK and Germany. It was an entire surprise and completely NOT revealed from the FIOS people after I registered. They went around with me in second detail about changing my local long-distance to Verizon/FIOS and my normal long-distance to Verizon/FIOS (from normal Verizon, actually). But didn't state term one about global long-distance, worldwide long distance programs, or some standard price of around $3 each minute for global long distance calls. After I named to go over this nowadays, the repetitions perspective was, nicely, we provide lots of providers and we can not reveal anything, you simply need to spend the cost.
I asked him where this may maintain the FIOS contract or how I really could perhaps have identified about any of it and he'd no solution for that. Hence confirming that there is no disclosure. This really is simply an out an out mess work. You could have Television, Web and Telephone with endless long-distance for $99 per month but contact Europe for 17 units and it'll be much more than half your statement included on? WTF!
Competitive prices for global long-distance are usually free (Vonage) to 10 dollars each minute, perhaps 10-25 dollars per minute having a calling card.
Easily were not secured in to a twelve months strategy I would have terminated today. I dislike this GOTCHA capitalism the credit card issuers have now been in the front of. This $3 each minute price is much like an run assisted price from 1970.
I'm likely to not spend the $55 or any overdue fees that accumulate and duke it out together towards the bitter finish. Perhaps try Vonage when my year is up.
