Unlisted phone fee senseless

Share via

Kudos to state Senate committee members for approving a bill by Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica) that would force phone companies in the state to stop charging for an unlisted phone number on land-line phones. (“Panel OKs ban on phone fees,” April 2.)

I have paid these fees for 40 years and always wondered why it would cost me anything for an unpublished number. It would make some sense to pay to have your number listed, as with the Yellow Pages.

Every time we “deregulate” anything, the corporations pick our pockets.
