Why Do The Regulatory Charges Change Every Month When Nothing Else Does?

The charges for:
Fed Universal Service Charge
Regulatry Charge
In the Verizon Wireless' Surcharges change each month on each of the phone lines in my account.  None of the other charges change.  If they are based on a percentage they should stay the same if all other charges do.  If they are a flat amount why do they change every month?
I tried to use Live Chat but all agents are always busy.

They change every 3 months because every 3 months the FCC changes the rate. It never changes by much and this charge is pretty minor in the scheme of things. I doubt any increase in the fee amounts to much. And some months the fee goes DOWN. For the 1 year we had the same service with no changes our USF fee varied by no more than 5 cents per line.
Also if you add or subtract features the amount will change because that fee is percentage based. For the record the USF should drop a few cents for the next 3 months since the FCC lowered the rate.

  • How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

    Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

    Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri.  If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface.  Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed.  Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

  • Want to get the 25th day of every month Date Function

    Dear All,
    i want want to get the 25th day of every month
    like.
    select sysdate from dua.
    Regards

    i want want to get the 25th day of every month By saying 'day', do you mean days like - Sunday, Monday, etc.?
    Why I'm in doubt is 25th of every month will always be 25 like '25-Jan', '25-Feb', '25-Mar', etc...
    In case you need the other way -
    SELECT
                ADD_MONTHS (
                            TRUNC (TO_DATE (SYSDATE), 'YEAR'), LEVEL - 1
                            ) + 24,
                TO_CHAR (
                    ADD_MONTHS (
                            TRUNC (TO_DATE (SYSDATE), 'YEAR'), LEVEL - 1
                            ) + 24
                    , 'DAY')
          FROM DUAL
    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 12;Output:
    25-Jan-2013     FRIDAY  
    25-Feb-2013     MONDAY

  • How do I create a recurring event for the second Monday of every month?

    I want to create a recurring event. It's an event that occurs the second and fourth monday of every month. I'd be happy to split this into two events if need be. The Custom repeat setting allows me to make the event occur every two Mondays. But some months have 5 weeks, so I need exactly, the second monday of every month.
    (It's a bit annoying that things like this are so hard to do on iCal when MS Outlook does them so easily!!!)

    Hi,
    You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
    Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
    Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
    Best wishes

  • How to set a calendar reminder for the last Friday of every month?

    I need to set a reminder to go off on the Monday following the last Friday of every month. I could settle for a reminder on the last Friday of every month and then delay the reminder by a couple of days, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"
    It is a plug in that allows you to have custom repeat rules.

  • I dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

    Although this isn't currently possible in the iOS Calendar app, go to iCloud.com (not on your iPad, but on a computer browser like Safari or Firefox) and log in.  There, you can add an event in Calendar and have the options to make it repeat however you want.

  • How can I put something in for the last Wednesday of every month

    How can I put something in for the last Wednesday of every month

    I don't believe there is such a custom repeat option with the iPhone's Calendar app, but if you are syncing calendar events with a supported calendar app on your computer or syncing calendar events over the air with an email account that supports it with an option to create such a custom repeating event with the online calendar, set up the custom repeating event there.
