AT&T

We're remodeling, so the house doesn't need phone service for a few months. I emailed AT&T to see what our options are in terms of suspending the service. Here is their response:

"AT&T offers three types of Temporary Suspension for your telephone service. You may choose to suspend incoming calls, outgoing calls, or both incoming and outgoing calls. All monthly charges, including taxes and surcharges, will still be applicable while the service is suspended. There is currently a one-time charge of $19.00 to make this change."

In other words, I pay a $19 to "suspend" my service, then every month during the suspension I continue to pay my monthly phone bill. Essentially I have to pay them to not service me.
