Note that Sonic does a bit of a con on the "free" phone service. They won't let you forgo the phone service. That results in additional $12 in charges and taxes on your bill, over half of which is a fee that goes entirely to Sonic. In the US phone companies are allowed to charge extra fees to comply with the law, and Sonic charges the maximum allowable. Not even AT&T does that! Of course they are very skilled at making it look like the fee goes to the government, but it doesn't.
