I noticed that Qwest charged a terrible amount when I used that service...and for that reason I now only have a cell phone, instead of both. Sometimes I would like a landline because my cell drops out, but I decided that the charges on landlines are crazy.. What you should do is find out if you have any extra services that you can remove. Good luck and sorry!

You can thank Al Gore for a good chunk of that tax.
"In 1996, Congress passed the Telecommunications Act, which included a provision championed by Al Gore to expand the definition of "universal service" to include high-tech services, and endow the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with a broad mandate to furnish schools, libraries, and health-care providers with affordable service.
