I have four lines with 10 GB data plan and the bill was supposed to be about $160. But it came out to about 265. Calld customer care and they said it takes couple billing cycles and the now my bill is down $112. it was a good customer service.
Did the bill show where the charges were coming from for the $105?
That bill was the most confusing ever. But I believe they charged $40 per line. The rep did not even go through all the details. She just give me the credit. That was easy.
DOES IT PAY TO SWITCH TO NEXT??? Anyone got time to see if my math is correct?
The next program is the same difference as buying outright.
I agree, out just saves you some upfront money and lowers your out of pocket expenses considerably.
That cant be right..they cant or shouldnt tax you on the full amount then discount you...$hit guess Ill have to call or do an online chat...
I'm gonna have to check in to that. My bill for 3 phones has been $265 for the last 3 months. I'm on that share plan as well.
It's not only cellphone companies. I remember being angry abou this back when Nixon was president, so it started a long time ago. Tax is charged on the full price before any discount. Now I've worked WITH a large city tax department, but never FOR one, so I don't know if anyone's ever done a study to see if the tax money turned in is the tax before the discount or the tax after the discount, but knwing how government works from the inside, I'd bet that adding all the money the major cities in the US are losing by collecting the tax money after discount would pay off a major portion of the national debt, if not all of it. Thank if how much a 5% tax on a 10% discount on 10% of what Walmart sells amounts to every day. Probably more than they pay in health benefits for their employees (which, AFAIK, is about the same as the Martian annual government expenditure, if you don't count the executives.)
