I'm a Florida resident with a out-of-state phone that has bunch of local charges and taxes.

I'm wondering if a Florida (Monroe County) cell phone has a bunch of charges?

I just switched to a Florida cell phone because my Wisconsin cell had so many extra charges and taxes on it too.

I use Straight Talk now with a Florida number. When I buy my pre-paid card at Walmart the only additional charge is the Florida state sales tax and nothing else.

Albiet I do have a problem with how they can charge sales tax on a service. You phone usage is not a taxable product.

I also dropped my iphone/att because of all the extra charges they kept coming up with that took my bill from 100 to over 150.

I found the ONLY way to not have to pay all those ridiculous made up 'extra' charges is to go prepaid no contract. I pay 45 bucks a month now for unlimited talk, text and date plus just the Florida sales tax.

And I don't have to give them one iota of personal info. Not even a credit card number because I pay cash for the prepaid card.
Makes me happy.:W
