When
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008I signed up for my current cell carrier, before signing the contract I spoke with my brother who had Sprint for a few years and he’d informed me that no matter the advertised price, the actual bill would be much higher due to taxes. So I asked the Verizon representative how much the taxes would be every month, and she couldn’t tell me, due to the fact that they “fluctuate” and therefore can’t be calculated. I say bunk! I then asked her for a rough estimate, and she wouldn’t even give me that, but as I needed a phone I went ahead and signed up. Well, now I know why they probably instruct their service people to be “unable” to provide the tax figures, because it added 30% to my total bill! I’m fed up, I’m jumping over to tracfone where I can even call South America for the same rate as the U.S. from what I’ve heard.
