Surcharges and Other Fees
6. Federal Universal Service Fund Fee 2.79
7. Carrier Cost Recovery Fee 1.49
Total Surcharges and Other Fees 4.28

Is this the "WE FUCK YOU WITHOUT LUBE BECAUSE WE CAN" fee?

Jesus H. Christ.

Next it will be, "Interstellar Cosmic Satellite Usage Fee"

Give me a break

bastards.

Its not rape. Your elected officials put those charges on your bill.


I work in cellular and hear people bitch about this all the time.

One of them is a federal fee

6. Federal Universal Service Fund Fee 2.79

I bolded it for you.

I.E. the carrier doesn't get that money, and has to pay it to the gov.

Besides $4 on a $80 dollar bill? Get over it there are other things you should bitch about with cell phones before $4 in fees that most of is from the government.

Take a good look at your utility bill next time. There are some whoppers in there. Since all my utilities are together I noticed on my single bill that I get charged a total of $23 just for metering equipment so they know what to bill me.

And I thought an ISP $5 modem rental was bad.

those fees are nothing but a tax. and whether it's a million dollar tax or a penny tax, the principal is still the same, it's BS.

And you know exactly where the money goes and how it's spent, right? I mean, once you build the infrastructure, it requires no maintenence, right? And the FCC is a group of volunteers from Moveon.org, right? It's amazing how things don't cost money in this world but people still want to charge us!!! OMG.

when i got a new elec heater on my house instead of the gas pack on the roof i had the gas line capped off. didnt immediately have them cancel gas service tho, and the next bill had a 30 dollar use charge, even tho there was nothing even attached to the line from their meter. they told me i had a leak, so i told them to come out and check. they told me there would be a service fee if they found a leak on my side of the meter. lol. there was no "my side" anymore. they waived the charges, never found a leak. they also tried to put gas use and service fees on my bill for the next 5 months, which took a call each month to have taken off. took em 6 years to finally pull the meter last month.
