Cost per month clarification

[redrockuser]

3rd year = $149.00 for 1 yr (Paid upfront)
$18.00 fees (1.50 x 12)
$167.00 total
/ 12 months
= 13.91 per month for 3rd year (current price - may increase with inflation)

Your calculation for the third year is wrong.

After the first two years Voipo charges always $3 per month for Taxes & Fees (you can check that for yourself by going to Voipo's order page, choose "Monthly" in the Plan Selection section and scroll down to the Order Details section). This would make for one year $149 for the VOIP service and $36 for "Taxes & Fees" = $185 for 12 months = $15.42 per month.

Why Voipo charges $3 per month for Taxes & Fees I don't understand. When I go onto the Basictalk website and click onto "Cost Break Down" and put my zip code in I get a total of $1.87 for Taxes & Fees, and when I put Voipo's zip code in (92660) I get an even lower total of only $1.12 for Taxes & Fees.

To me it looks as if Voipo is heavily overcharging for Taxes & Fees - and no matter how good or "likeable" they are otherwise, this is simply not ok.

Every provider out there charges differently for taxes / fees. If you want to know what the taxes and fees are contact VoiPo or call them to ask the question what the fees are likely to be. Many providers don't even quote the number as there is so much variation. I would not consider $3 per month in taxes and fees too expensive. $3 is comparable with what I paid PhonePower back when I had them.

It's very competitive and if you go too much into detail you'll see that most are the same. But I haven't had any problems.
