home phone options... (Charlotte, Concord, Monroe: taxes, bill, land)

[sundrop]

I am looking to find out if there are any companies in the greater Charlotte area that offer land based lines other than AT&T, are you guys aware of any?

thanks

Depends on where, I have windstream (formerly CTC)

Not over the internet? Not sure if any are left. I use TWC, based on the internet/modem.. It's ok.. but I don't use it much.

In the Concord area there's Windstream, in the Monroe area there's Verizon, and in most of York County there's Comporium. Other than that, AT&T is the only company that's going to offer traditional landline service. You might find a mom-and-pop carrier, but they'll still be using AT&T's lines.

We have Comporium down here in Ayrsley. I needed a land-line for my home office. Fairly inexpensive - unlimited local and LD, caller ID, voicemail - bill has always been $29.37 per month since I had the service turned on last Summer.

I have the internet & land line for $49.99 a month, unlimited long distance caller id all the usual.

That's from windstream in Steele Creek

Anyone have AT&T U-Verse?
They advertise up to 18 Mbps...

I have never heard of U-verse?

I did hear something positive about AT&T..they are bringing back all of the support state-side. Hopefully it will be done by the end of this year. That's a great thing! Many people will be put back to work in THIS country.
