Don't switch to Progressive Long Distance

Progressive Long Distance promised me to save money.  I was paying $35/line for 2 lines with all the calling features I needed plus an additional $5 for Voicemail.  So it was $75/month plus taxes etc.  They told me I would pay $30/month with all features included.  So I switched.  Then I got my first bill for $197.  They told me that I had been promised $40.50/line, plus $5/feature (caller id, forwarding, three way, call waiting) and $13 for voicemail.  So $73/line.  I NEVER would have agreed to this.  Who would?  I called to complain and they denied ever quoting me that price.  The conversation was taped, but to hear the tape I would first have to pay the full amount???  They offered to discount me 30% and discontinue my service, which I accepted just to be done with them.

Don't switch to Progressive Long Distance.  I have filed complaints with the FCC and the Better Business Bureau.  They suck.
