I have been in telecom since 1984 and with the advent of Equal Access where you can choose service providers and services this has been happening.
It has happened on so many of my account that we have a policy of locking the account, so no authorized changes can be made and have the customer approve it, for their protection.
ILD is one of many jerkoff companies that frequently scam theh public and I wish they would go the way of Cherry Telecommunications.
And it looks like they've been doing so for some years.
I've not looked into this in depth yet because I'm...a tad angry. But it looks like Members Edge is a voicemail service. However, the bill says there is a $14.95 charge for long distance and the Members Edge charge is the only one for $14.95.
Since I have the Verizon Freedom Unlimited plan, I don't know why I would pay for a separate long distance plan.
If I could get my hands on people like this...I'd now be in prison. Nevermind.
