Thats right.  Don't be fooled by that quote.  You have to add in all 
these fees too:

FEDERAL SURCHARGES AND TAXES

Federal Subscriber Line Charg      $$$
Number Portability Charge  $$$
Long Distance Access Charge  $$$
Fed Universal Service Charge  $$$
Federal Excise Tax  $$$
 
STATE AND LOCAL SURCHARGES AND TAXES
 
State & Local Comm Serv Tax $$$
State G/R Comm. Services Tax  $$$
Property Tax Recovery Charge  $$$


OTHER CHARGES

Access Recovery  $$$

and that will put you at around $850 to $900
