Verizon Extorts Users with Fee to Keep Landlines Unlisted

Meh, its a land line.... Here is what you do:
Call Verizon and demand they drop the fee or else you will drop the land line completely and they will receive no money. Of course, the person on the phone will say they cannot do that. So you in turn drop the land lane.
Why? Because its a fucking land line. The only thing it is needed for is your home alarm system, and if you don't have a home alarm system, then you don't need the land line.

Not only that, but a lot of alarms can now work over the internet...at most you'd need to pay 20/month for an IP phone from your cable company and I suspect their are cheaper ways to do it

And then pay them to not publish your number also. Cable companies also charge you to not have your number published as they give the customer's names and phone number to the local telephone company to put into their phone books, submit it to the national 411 database and the online databases for you to be able to look up phone numbers online.
