Somehow, @scottalanmiller claims it isn't hidden
Where did I claim that? I agree that I don't like hidden pricing. I said that the pricing was good if you talked to @Skyetel - not that it wasn't hidden.
Then tell us about it. Because you also never posted any information on pricing in the previous threads.
If they made you sign something not allowing that, then fuck this company.

What do you have in this...
That is a drop down menu. I see the same menu.
Obviously, my CC is listed in payment methods and auto renew is disabled. Because I never let phone services auto-bill.

Their cost is private, you can hate it as much as you want, but you have to ask the @Skyetel account for info on the pricing. It's hidden, I've always said it was hidden, but the pricing is good if you are willing to ask and if you didn't ask, then you are creating your own problems just to get to complain. The hidden pricing is what it is, but once you've been told it is hidden, which you have been several times, then complaints beyond that make no sense. You know the good pricing is open to you, you just have to talk to them, if you don't want to, don't, but it makes no sense to complain that you don't know the hidden prices just because you aren't willing to find out what it is.

The problem that I have even with this, is @JaredBusch is being charged for calls received, when he has nothing setup.
That's a bit ridiculous.

Nutanix pricing is public, their PERFORMANCE is private. Totally different. I can report my Skyetel experience.

@JaredBusch your are being billed for service because you ported in a phone number (1618654****) and it is receiving inbound calls. Additionally, you are being billed for the Caller ID and Spam Prevention lookups that you have enabled on your phone number.
Lastly - you were billed when you ported in the number -

That's a bit ridiculous."Nothing set up" and "has a phone number" can't go together. Either he has a number that can take calls and has something set up, or he has nothing set up. Can't be both. That a PBX is tied to the number later in the process is, well, later in the process.

Delete those images at once you just spilled PII.

I did not knowingly agree to those services.
Great work.

They most certainly can. Skyetel chose to automatically point the number to multiple services that cost money.
They also chose not to make that known during the sign up process.

Their may be additional services, but just having the number and accepting inbound traffic is "something set up."

Setup by whom? If the client didn't set it up / knowingly accept the configuration then there is an issue. @JaredBusch is the customer here and is saying he wasn't made aware that he'd be accepting a configuration that would result in charges.

They are charging for services beyond that. They stated as much.

I never logged into the system after initialing the port request.
I don't deny that I never setup a PBX or endpoint to make use of the number I ported in.
I planned on setting it up. Just haven't had the spare time. It is a personal number not a business number, and I have little interest in anything hitting it right now. So I do not care if callers hear a number not in service message.

No, and not surprising since the number ported in on April 3.

Nothing wrong with that. But the system ported the number and is handling calls on your behalf. It has to handle those calls, even if just for a moment.
