I just cracked up reading your post. Think about it. We all accept this as reasonable but, it's silly. How much should the 69.99 + 10.00 plan cost? Well, theoretically, in a normal world, it would total out to 79.99. But not in the Bizarro World ( Bizarro World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) of cell phone companies (and airlines) . LOL
maybe you missed the part where i said after taxes.
Different carriers charge taxes and hidden fees differently.
Verizon for example charges rediculously high.
I paid only 8 dollars in taxes in NY with my 79.99 plan.
I have a 20% discount and was paying 64.75 a month.
