Are there monthly fees? If so what is the breakdown?

Yes. You can go on the Linxup website and find out exactly, but month to month billing is $24.99 while it is a bit cheaper if you sign up for a yearly contract, just like cell phone service. Hope this helps.

No, there is no monthly or annual service fee (as long as Google Voice remains free). There is only the device fee.

Yes, it is a pay as you go process just like any service offered by one of the major carriers. I have a monthly plan with ATT. The cost is dependent on the carrier, their data plans and your needs.

People are saying there is an annual fee, but I don't think that's true. As far as I know there are no fees. The one thing I wasn't sure about was how to export a yearly report though.

Have never used OnStar; I am using initial service; I read that to have availabilty of more frequent updates than the free annual, then there is a subscription charge.

Yes, it is. But it will remain on same account. For example, I have a $12 per month subscription for my car and recently added one for my home for only an additional $9.99 per month. Best thing I ever did. Make sure to ask for all subscription options. I got the least expensive, but had to interrogate the heck out of the sales rep. :)

Depends on your plan. I chose the 35.00 a month plan, talk/text for the service, plus 2.77 service charge (tax?), if I do not pay, no service.

I'm not a tester and don't own the unit (not yet anyway), but I've been checking it out... yes, the monthly service is $10-13 after the initial 3 month free period expires. Based on my experience with other units, this is about the same as the cost of one or more map updates per year that other vendors charge for, but the service includes more ... so for me, this will not be a big concern.

No, there is no annual fee or extra charges. that was one of the biggest selling points for me!

There is no monthly fee for using this router but you still have to pay for internet service. Hope this helps!

There is an annual fee for support. That includes any upgrades to the software, but it also means you can ask any questions you have by e-mail or by phone, and you will get a prompt and helpful reply. (I see they now have online chat support, but I have never used that.) The cost last time was $45. But this is not "Gotcha," because they are up front about it. If you do not update, the program will still work. (I am still using Quicken Basic 2002, by the way! But only for tracking expenses, not for investments. I will have to buy a new version if and when I need to use Quicken on a 64-bit system.) I have found the annual fee well worth it.

Hi Paul, $14.95 is the basic monthly fee from 5*, but my actual monthly fee was about $18 with taxes. Recently, I added insurance on my 5* unit since I tend to be clumsy, so now my total monthly cost (with my state's taxes) is a few cents over $21. It's more than worth it to me. 5* has so many services. I wear mine all the time and I have felt safe ever since I got it. Even at $21 it's well below the monthly cost of units offered by other companies. 5* responds immediately and professionally. The unit is well made and I expect it to last a long time - I've had mine for several months, expect it to do well for years. Hope this helps in your decision-making.

No monthly fee at all.. A very small percentage taken from each transaction.. Very small.. I've been using pay anywhere for over a year n ok now and I love it.. It's convenient and very useful..

I believe that there will be a $2 or $3 monthly fee for the t mobile cell service in addition to whatever you and the control panel use to contact each other. I have had mine less then a month so far, so I can not verify yet about the monthly fee for the cell service.

No, it is not free, there are different packages available. Also, monthly rates billed every three months, to yearly rates etc... If you subscribe to the yearly deal, you end up getting the equivalent of one month free.

Yes, about $9 per month. Looked online and it seems these can be controlled by some other systems to avoid the cost but I have not had time to research it. Good product but the other issue I have is they charge another $9 for each additional house you add instead of giving you a break at a reduced rate. Looking to add third house so may have to figure out how to change to one of the non-fee Z-Wave services.
