Hey Descant, so I said to Consolidated; "thanks, but no thanks" and the Consolidated lady was very polite and sort of apologized for the what seems like a crazy expensive $28.00 tax on top of a $37.99 monthly bill.

Hey Descant, can you take a look at http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federa...one_excise_tax and inform us why this telephone tax adds up to $28.00/month?

And yes I do have a very nice, old yellow table top phone stamped in ink with an "11-68", November 1968 on the bottom metal base that has a rotary dial and a large four prong plug. Stamped or engraved into the metal base, underneath, it says; "Bell System Property, Not For Sale." It also has a metal dial, underneath, that must adjust the level of the ring-ring-ring.

Definitely, my type of a phone! .... ..... So simple, even a Neanderthal caveman can use it ........ arrghh!
