![]() ![]() There has to be an answer to this situation and if there currently isn’t one, then they need to address it. My next step will be to contact the FCC and our Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. I’ve called many 800 numbers talking with Verizon, Yellow pages, White pages, Mettel (my current provider), Ooma, etc. I read through everything and it sounds like there are quite a few others just as frustrated as I am on this issue and they haven’t found an solution either.

There would be no other reason for me to have the land line phone service. I might sound like a cheap skate but I think that’s a lot just to have my number published in the white pages. That will cost $15.00+ per month with more than half of that being the fix surcharge of $8.38 (FCC Charges, Interstate Recovery Fee, Portability, Regulatory Recovery Fee). I have investigated keeping my existing land line and integrating it with Ooma with the cheapest plan available just as you suggested. As far as I’m concerned this is an obstacle to telephone de-regulation and competition. ![]() Thanks for the prompt feedback and links bw1. Is there any way that this service can be considered by Ooma to be included it the future? I might be running out of time to do this because it won’t be long until the deadline comes up for new listings to be included in the next editions of these directories. They say that if it is possible (perhaps as a “foreign listing”), there probably would be a fee similar to a listing in the Yellow pages. I tell them that I don’t really have a phone company and that Ooma doesn’t provide this service. They continue to insist that my “new phone company” will do this for me. I have spend endless hours making calls to the local phone company and the people who publish the directories and no one seems to know how to handle my situation. Because of my contacts in my local community it’s imperative that it be listed. The one issue that I’m having a real problem with is how to continue to have my phone number listed in the next edition of the residential white pages of my local phone directories. I’m considering porting my existing land line phone number to my Ooma system and ditching my phone company altogether. ![]()
