This article is from February.... 10 states with astronomical cell phone taxes- MSN Money. But here in Nebraska it says we have the highest wireless tax at 23.69%. When I try to figure out how much a cell phone plan will really cost I usually add $20 to it. I have the $69.99 plan, plus the $10 extra random charge, plus about $20 in taxes and fees. So I pay about $100. Before this random $10 Sprint pricing was pretty cheap but now if I wanted, say an iPhone, it's not really much more at ATT or Verizon. The article says Florida wireless tax is up there as well at 21.62%.

Edit: I tried editing my post but it wasn't working so I'll make a new one. I didn't realize the first post was a while ago, I'll have to take a closer look next time. I hope you were able to figure out your billing issues!

Yes, sprint's plan is still cheaper than ATT or Verizon, even with the extra $10 charge. However it's not as much of a leap to pay $10 extra and go to ATT if I wanted one of their phones as opposed to the $20 extra it used to be. They may have limited data, but it can be debatable that they have better customer service. But that's a whole new thread.

Just under $60/mo on an old school SERO plan with TEP included.
