I decided to switch from prepaid cellphone service to a monthly plan… The plan price is $20 for 200 minutes…. Not so bad, BUT, there are some extra charges:
- $8/month for “system access fee”, whatever that is, considering I’m paying $20 for the service itself.
- plus $1/month for 911 access fee
- plus $7 to display the caller’s phone number. This is just nuts. I need to pay to see who is calling me. Note that the caller can still choose to show or hide his/her number.
- received calls are charged at the same price as made calls
- activation fee of $35, even after being a prepaid customer of them
add the tax to it and the $20 monthly plan is now $40 per month… I’m still deciding if I should go back to prepaid… but for a country where I pay more for insurance per year than my car is worth (year 2000 ford focus sedan), nothing looks strange anymore…. I doubt that there is such thing as consumer protection around here…
