For those of you who aren’t in the know the government has decided to stop collecting the excise tax on long distance calls. Not only that they’ll be refunding any payments applicable to the tax that were made between March 1, 2003 and July 31, 2006. While that may be good news, the better news for Vonage users is that Vonage has made it a simple 5 step process to get a refund.

1. Log into your Vonage web account and click on Billing.

2. Next, click on Billing History, located directly under the Billing link.

3. This will show every invoice created since your account was created.

4. Select each invoice (one at a time) dated March 1, 2003 – July 31, 2006.

5. Locate the section labeled Charges Detail.

Feel free to check out Vonage’s help site for more information. Refunds are expected to range from about 30-60 dollars. That’s like a brand spankin new video game or several dozen burritos. Anybody up for a crackdown burritofest?
