As you may or may not have noticed on your normal phone bill, there’s a federal excise tax on long-distance phone service. Not only do consumers loathe it, but the government does as well. So as an incentive to use VoIP services, you can earn up to $60 back from federal charges. Here’s how it works:
If you made long distance calls from March 1, 2003 – July 31, 2006 you could get 3% of your monthly charges refunded.
Consumers who don’t use Vonage should call their provider and ask how they can get a refund.
Those with Vonage should do the following:
1. Log into your Vonage web account and click on Billing.2. Next, click on Billing History, located directly under the Billing link.
