Users can NOT beat the price!

Five years, 60 months, for $59.95. That is what I paid when I renewed my service contract with YMax Communications (magicJack) after having it the initial year. That comes to one (1) dollar per month for a second phone line in the house.

The Federal, state, and local taxes and fees almost make up 50% 0f the bill!

My current Cavalier Telephone service costs:

unlimited local & long distance plan .... 34.95
listing - non publish ............................... 3.95
energy recovery charge ........................ 2.95
data service recovery chagre ............... 2.00
fed excise tax .......................................... .63
gross receipts ......................................... .25
state special tax ..................................... 2.65
state sales tax ........................................ .82
local sales tax ......................................... .14
emerg. 911 service ................................ 1.00
USF interstate toll ............................... .34
relay surcharge .................................... .08
USF line charge .................................... 1.10
LNP surcharge ..................................... .99
end user access fee .............................. 3.97
end user common line ......................... 9.00
_______________________________________
............................................................... 64.72

so less than what I paid for one (1) month of service with Cavalier Telephone, I was able to get five (5) years of service with magicJack! Of course I ordered the five years of continued service.
