Has anybody else seen a tax increase on the cell phone bill? Mine went up $5 with an increase in state and local sales tax. Sprint told me that Texas has increased the tax on data usage, but I can't find any reference to that happening. Please let me know if you've seen any changes or know of a tax change.

Get rid of it and your tax increase will go away.

Perhaps one of these:

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. I would like to know if anyone is aware of new state taxes on cell phones or data usage.

I'm with ATT in Dallas and haven't seen any tax increase. I went back through bills to July and don't see any increase.

I can't find it. But here is a cool link. Perhaps drop a dime to the PUC with documentation. In my search I did find where one carrier planned a $5 spike in July.

Thanks for the link. Lots of good information there.

Thank you. My increase was on my October bill. Before that, all the bills were the same amount.

For those of you suggesting I change plans. I have been with Sprint for more than 10 years. Due to length of my service from them, a 23% employment discount, and loyalty rewards everything on our plan is unlimited at a good price. Even with the new charges. I wouldn't be able to switch plans and get a better deal. Thanks anyway.
