Very simple: use a chinese phone system!FeiGeiWay wrote:I live in china, so I don't need or want to pay the $3-$4 local tax on the Ooma. I registered a Los Angeles address but live in China. How do I set it so that I don't have to pay the 911 tax? I don't need or want to call 911.
You may be thrown in jail for a long, long time for evading chinese taxes on telecommunications... it is a matter of time before you get caught!

They probably care more about using VPN to avoid the Great (fire)Wall of China than avoiding the taxes

It ain't too bad over there. As long as you don't mess with politics, religion, pornography on the net, you are left alone. Even if you discuss these openly in a forum such as this one, they still leave you alone. It is when you try to mobilize the masses, then you get in trouble.

The only way you avoid paying tax is through getting a ooma Core and activating that.FeiGeiWay wrote:I live in china, so I don't need or want to pay the $3-$4 local tax on the Ooma.

Ah, but when you use VPN and encryption to mask your conversation, how would the state know if you are mobilizing the masses or just talking about sports?lbmofo wrote:It ain't too bad over there.

Yeah, they won't know so people talk all they want, just don't do anything about it.

Re: don't want to pay local taxes, live in china
I just read you responses - I have a Telo. Are you guys saying there's no way around the e911 taxes unless I buy and old model core?
I just don't it's fair to force me to pay the e911 tax when i don't live in the country and would be useless to me.
