In the coming weeks the FCC will vote on whether to put an end to deceptive charges on your phone bill—and consumers have until March 9th to weigh in!
Regulators need to ban long-distance and wireless companies from imposing misleading surcharges on our monthly bills.
For example, some wireless phone companies began charging consumers to keep their phone number when switching companies. Depending on the company, this fee can range from $0.05 cents to $1.75 per month. Such extras can tack on a few extra dollars to your monthly bills disguised as fees and surcharges.
Ensure that your opinion on the issues is heard—tell the FCC that you want them to stop the proliferation of confusing and deceptive fees on your bills and allow customers to truly compare prices of phone services.
