phone not working with new gateway modem - why the $100 charge for tech visit?

Self installed new gateway modem. Previously had Arris. Landline phones do not work, and customer service sent out technician for tomorrow. I notice you are charging me $100 for that visit. The charge is inappropriate. How do I get that charge voided?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out about the phone service not working. I am happy to further troubleshoot that for you. For the visit charge, when you change equipment, for the next 30 days after that, we would set up a technician recovery visit if your service is not working. There is a $100 charge for the visit. We notify you of that in the order when we send out or your pick up equipment.
