The 9-1-1 (911)fees, USF, aka FUSF taxes, state taxes and local taxes that appear as gross receipts on your telephone bills. Next there is federal access, federal excise tax, Then there are the other fees and surcharge like telecommunications relay service TRS, and Local Number Portability LNP charges.

Let’s go into one category Access Charges: Did you know that service providers don’t have to charge you a set fee but they do have a maximum fee they can tax per phone line? These access charges are not a government charge but they are a fee set by the Federal Communication Commission FCC.

Oh there is more, much more. Customer line charge aka Subscriber Line Charges, and Interstate Access Charge (calls made from one state to another state) are billed on your lines also.

The State Public Service Commission PSC does regulate and oversee Intrastate calls (those calls made within each state.

So many other fees and charges are in the phone, wireless, data, network, and other telecom invoices. 

There are monthly fees for plans, operator charges, feature charges, and directory assistance.

In addition, there are E-Rate Programs where the Government gives funding to help schools and libraries get big discounts from 20-90 percent! Then there’s the Connect America Fund that is basically a federal universal service high cost program that that gives consumers in high-cost areas internet, and broadband access to modern communications network but give them fees as if they were in urban areas. This applies to both fixed and wireless services areas. And there is the Lifeline service also.+
