      Time for me to look into prepaid. my bill can drop from $124 to $85 each after taxes.

      Or you could just go T-Mobile and get unlimited everything for a flat $70 per month, taxes and fees included.

      Prioritization is actually 50GB with TMo, not 22.

      Sure, if I don't want to use my phones. I actually tried that this summer for my Europe trip.. I signed up for service (new phone numbers - @JaredBusch ) and could only get service in 1 place I visit weekly in my home city.

      TMo was useless in most of my home city and home home.

        ouch, didn't know that!

              Is this weird? Any time I look to buy something I immediately assume it's before tax and S&H. Are most items in your part of the country listed including taxes?

                TMo has that taxes rolled in thing I guess?

                The only tax I seem to pay is sales tax. Hadn’t really looked before. It’s about 6%

                  No of course not, but I listed my prices in my post as post taxes.

                    Aww.. I forgot that TMo started that - "including taxes" bit. None the less, this doesn't apply, the $60 PrePaid was from ATT - who does not include the taxes in that.

                    But huh? you saw an additional fee for 6% with TMo even after they claimed all taxes included?

                      My main point was to point out that I'm currently paying around $122/m after taxes...

                      The ATT Prepaid unlimited is $60 for first, and $55 for second, plus taxes makes it about $125 after tax... so it's a pretty close wash as far as price goes, and it moves me from 15 Shared GB/m to unlimited* (* data speeds slowed after 22 GB at ATT's discretion).

                          It would make sense for taxes to be included in the sticker price. Not sure why NY, and other states, don't do that.

                            @coliver Because they can make more money when they don't include the taxes. . .

                              Yes and no. I like the simplicity of seeing a price on the shelf and knowing that that's the price I'm spending before I walk up to the checkout counter (a la most of Europe - maybe more places), but I don't like that fact that the taxes then become a buried thing and basically we the people become divorced from what we are being charged for taxes.

                                Unlimited with att prepaid is $60 now

                                Before taxes.

                                Is this weird? Any time I look to buy something I immediately assume it's before tax and S&H. Are most items in your part of the country listed including taxes?

                                My main point was to point out that I'm currently paying around $122/m after taxes...

                                The ATT Prepaid unlimited is $60 for first, and $55 for second, plus taxes makes it about $125 after tax... so it's a pretty close wash as far as price goes, and it moves me from 15 Shared GB/m to unlimited* (* data speeds slowed after 22 GB at ATT's discretion).

                                I was just asking, as sometimes I find I'm the "weird" one.

                                Yes and no. I like the simplicity of seeing a price on the shelf and knowing that that's the price I'm spending before I walk up to the checkout counter (a la most of Europe - maybe more places), but I don't like that fact that the taxes then become a buried thing and basically we the people become divorced from what we are being charged for taxes.

                                If you had a 3rd or 4th phone @Dashrender it really starts to get cheap lol. For my 8 year old I only paid $15 and he gets 6GB for his ipad, and texting. Calling he cant use until he gets an iPhone down the road.

                                    I'm also not really sure what he's trying to get at? Taxes don't become buried if they are added to the sticker price. It is still incredibly easy to find sales tax rates for counties/states, as well as tax rates for specific things.

                                      Good morning sunshine. Given the choice, I'll keep it like it is in the US - don't include taxes.

                                        yeah - I saw that. I'm going to look into this today. This makes getting a LTE laptop much more tenable when I can add it for $30/m to my account as the third line. Still not sure it's worth that much to me...

                                        oh - wait.. does this include teathering? Is that the rub? Instead of allowing me to tether, I have to buy and pay for a LTE sharing device?

                                          Time for me to look into prepaid. my bill can drop from $124 to $85 each after taxes.

                                          Or you could just go T-Mobile and get unlimited everything for a flat $70 per month, taxes and fees included.

                                          Prioritization is actually 50GB with TMo, not 22.

                                          Unlimited with att prepaid is $60 now

                                          Before taxes.

                                          Is this weird? Any time I look to buy something I immediately assume it's before tax and S&H. Are most items in your part of the country listed including taxes?

                                          My main point was to point out that I'm currently paying around $122/m after taxes...

                                          The ATT Prepaid unlimited is $60 for first, and $55 for second, plus taxes makes it about $125 after tax... so it's a pretty close wash as far as price goes, and it moves me from 15 Shared GB/m to unlimited* (* data speeds slowed after 22 GB at ATT's discretion).

                                          I was just asking, as sometimes I find I'm the "weird" one.

                                          It would make sense for taxes to be included in the sticker price. Not sure why NY, and other states, don't do that.

                                          Yes and no. I like the simplicity of seeing a price on the shelf and knowing that that's the price I'm spending before I walk up to the checkout counter (a la most of Europe - maybe more places), but I don't like that fact that the taxes then become a buried thing and basically we the people become divorced from what we are being charged for taxes.

                                          You can't have it both ways. FFS stop bitching up both sides of the river.

                                          I'm also not really sure what he's trying to get at? Taxes don't become buried if they are added to the sticker price. It is still incredibly easy to find sales tax rates for counties/states, as well as tax rates for specific things.

                                          It is? The tax rates of things were not broken out on many receipts when I was traveling... But almost all, if not all do in the US - the major exception is gasoline. Normal people (myself included) have no clue how much of the cost of gasoline is taxes.
                                          Hiding this information only serves to keep people from rioting when they see high taxes.

                                            Now - again, JB will say I'm being an alarmist or whatever he wants to call me today. And that might be true in his opinion. But I say it's important to be blatantly informed because by default the masses are just to lazy to dig into this kind of stuff.
