Compare multiple phone plans online

Staff Reports

WASHINGTON -- Colorado's consumers now have access to a "quick-scan" chart comparing multiple phone plans and rates offered by telecom competitors across the state.

The phone plan comparison chart for Colorado was released today as part of a special series in the Telecommunications Research and Action Center, TRACNotes newsletter.

For consumers in Colorado, the data displays a variety of providers and plans in the metropolitan Denver area. Information includes costs for monthly service rates, the federal subscriber line charge and the two most popular calling options -- Caller ID and call waiting.

TRAC began the research after realizing that consumers were not saving as much money on phone services as they might, since there was no way for them to easily compare and contrast phone service information. TRACNotes is a free e-mail newsletter published weekly at www.trac.org.
