Loss of Service Threat
Got another letter today threatening loss of phone service, which I'm PAYING FOR! Cox website has a similar warning when I logged in to my account. Followed the scheduling link, made my selection (all shown as $0.00) but was unable to "continue to checkout" for the free telephone equipment upgrade.

My observations to Voice Mail and Call Blocking.
I've been a minor participant to the "in the last 25 hours" thread, reading all the great comments by CurtB and Bruce. I made some mention about voice mail and call blocking. I wanted to update my findings. I have a newer Panasonic Phone hardware with an answering machine +250 call blocking button o

Have had unknown long distance telephone charges for calls we did not make. Cox refuses to acknowledge they have a problem. What can I do.

But, last mon
