Integretel is still ripping people off? They pulled this crap on me in New York 2 years ago on my land line. I just switched to Vonage the month before and it was the final bill that I noticed the charge. I never signed up for anything and never heard of the company. I called Verizon and they were of no help. I then called Integretel and they said they would remove the charge. A few months later I get a collection notice from Verizon for the fee's ($20 I think). Called Verizon back again and told them I thought it was taken care of. They finally just remove the charge. The kicker, my credit report now says..... "Verizon, settled, not paid in full". What a load of crock! Seriously, does anyone actually use this service (whatever it is)? Are the phone company's in bed with Integretel? There's nothing but complaints when you google the company. I guess they get lucky when some people don't read their bills. What a scam from both integretel and Verizon (and/or any other company's that accept it)! I suggest you forget about calling your phone company or Integretel. Instead file a complaint at BBB.com and it will be taken care of. Good luck!
