How much are all the taxes / fees / total cost of the monthly plan?
And if it makes a difference, what state are you in? (I think taxes vary, especially NY and California)
Mines like 75, but that's with insurance. Michigan btw.
I also have the corporate discount which I forgot about when I first posted.
The state does make a difference because of all the various taxes. In Wisconsin, this plan comes out to be about $75 after taxes if I remember correctly.
Mine is like 75 with taxes.
Everything data with 1500 shared (roaming + landline) minutes on a family plan with 2 phones.

plus 7 insurance each line $150 a month with taxes
plus 2 months free for renewing 2 yrs last month
3 lines total..
sorry
Mine comes out to about 76 bucks a month and I live in Ohio. But because of that extra 5 bucks a month for us SPL customers it's about 82 now. But I'm also a premiere customer and get to upgrade every year with 150 bucks off a new phone so it's all good.
After taxes, I pay about $7.68... All I pay for is insurance lol
I bought the EVO 4G in the 25th of June and got my first bill today. I was charged $152.53, which seems very high based on the plan and services i signed up for when i bought my phone. Im on the everything data plan for 69.99, with the $10 add-on for 4g, $7 for insurance, and$ 4.99 for the spending limit program. That totals $91.98 plus i get a 10% discount. I called to ask why my bill is so high and the customer service rep told me because i was charged for the period of june 13 - july 13 and also prorated charges from june 25th - july 13. I understand the prorated charges, but is it normal for sprint to charge you a whole month in addition to your actual usage in advance? I didn't even own the phone on the 13th of june. I feel ripped off
yes usually your first bill its always a lil weird, but after that everything should be good!!!
I got my phone on the 28th of June, have the same plan as you, and was charged around $150. I was charged for the previous month and the activation charge. I'm a little put-off by Sprint at this point. One thing I appreciated about T-Mobile was their excellent customer service. I was never hit with these outrageous charges before. Not to mention Sprint says it will be at least 2 months before my government discount kicks in.
My bill is still around $99 after fees and taxes

What is happening is you have to pay a month in advance, i think all cell phone companies do that now. So you have the pro-rated month, plus the next full month in your first bill. Then any activation fees, plus as said the discounts take up to 2 months for them to kick in.
Simply all carriers do that. They bill you in advance. T-mobile does that, AT&T does that, Verizon does that. Also remember it's almost $40 just for the activation fee. Your next month's bill will look better.
yeah they charge one month in advance, which is normal for all carriers; however, the thing that irritated me was the prorated charge; why not just start the billing cycle for whenever the line was activated; luckily i ordered mine on June 9th and it the billing cycle started on June 12 or 13; they still charged me like $19 in prorated amount, which i got them to credit me once i found out that they started charging me even though i did not have the lines activated; i ordered through their website on the 9th and didn't activate the phones until June 12th, when i received the phones; however, they started charging me from June 9th, even though no phones were activated or anything
I did a lovely contract transfer a year ago, no start-up fee's just started paying the monthly. my bill was a little wonky the first month from the evo but it's normal again.
Just received the 2nd month bill. 4 lines (2 Evos & 2 Blackberries) 1500 minutes and it comes to $170.
Anyway, Sprint is not trying to give me the Save50 promo credit. The chat agent said they have no record of it. But I have screen capture that shows a total of $200 credit ($50 credit per line). I am already hating dealing with Sprint so many times.
I'm having second thoughts about my switch to Sprint. To me nothing can justify having to pay what's essentially twice in a month. A full month for a period starting at a date I didn't even own the phone, and then a prorated charge. That's a huge disappointment for me. I already dislike the way business is conducted at Sprint. Thankfully I have until the 25th under the 30 day guarantee. The EVO is a great phone, but the 30fps cap and horrible lag in addition to the bill are making me lean towards leaving Sprint

No, that's not how it works.
You pay a prorated charge for the period from the date of activation until the start of the next billing cycle.
After that, you pay the next billing cycle in advance. It's a one-time thing and it's quite reasonable, logical and easily justified. If you're somehow being charged something different you've got a customer service issue that needs to be remedied. I anticipate that you don't, though.
You get charged a prorated amount the first bill. That is why you always discuss what will be on the first bill with customer service.
Now that you know...sit back, relax and enjoy the Sprint party
If you decide to leave however, please don't start another "I hate Sprint because..."thread. To many people have started those already and the funny thing is, the majority of the time it is their own-doing!
Yeah, the first bill is prorated from the time you sign up, until the monthly billing date, then you pay the coming month's fees. It's a little bit strange, but not bad. Basically, you're always paying for the next month of service, not the last month of service.
go ahead and switch to tmobile, att, or verizon, and the same thing will happen to you...

I'm rooted and running 53fps. I really wish people would stop bringing up the 30fps cap unless they're willing to do the research to fix it (with or without HTC's help).
And the horrible lag? Are you referring to the screen lag, i.e. the fps issue?
i got my evo june 6 and my first bill was 135
second bill which i still have like 18 days to pay is 185! ><, but thats because i had to claim a "new" phone via asurion .. shattered screen ><
so im guessing my regular bills will be around 80 cuz i got charged 2 months of Total protection since i added it half month on july one for 5 one for 7.
ohh and i have discount around 20% i believe

T-mobile does not do that. They might make you put extra money down if you have bad credit, but the first bill will be the right amount + activation. I was told my first bill would be prorated, something around $25 + activation, not $150. To me, that is a ludicrous amount to charge someone straight out without telling them that is about what they will be charged.
i stand corrected with tmobile then. sprint told me 1023 times that my first bill would be prorated + next month so I knew what I was getting.
Yes its normal, but remember if/when you leave sprint you all ways gey money back because youve paid in advance.

Their reps go over it with you in store and via phone. I'm surprised it came as such a shock, they should have gone over it.
I personally don't mind it, since it means when I do leave Sprint (eventually) I'll get money back for the remaining time I didn't use the service, rather than send them a final payment/bill, possible fake "late" charges, etc.
I hate to bother people with this but I can't seem to find this information anywhere online and I don't know anyone with a XOOM personally.
The reps at the verizon store are telling me that the XOOM could cost me an extra 15 a month in taxes fees and surcharges on just a 20 dollar plan in Georgia. Is there any truth at all to this or are these guys nuts?
What are you guys paying extra every month?
I don't know about "extra". I only have one device on Verizon right now -- the XOOM. I started with a MiFi about 18 months ago and replaced it with the XOOM last week. To activate it I called Verizon. they switched me to the tablet plan and said it's the same price. Now, I haven't gotten a bill yet but I'm on a 3GB plan and it's been costing me $35/month. With a 22% discount from my employer, the total is $27.38. That's what I expect the price to be when I get my bill. VZW online shows that price, too.
HTH
EDIT: Maybe I completely misread your post. Nonetheless, I hope it's useful ... to you or someone
Nope.
Negative. You will be looking at the standard ~12.9% (this changes slightly almost daily it seems) on your monthly bill. I am employed by VZW's biggest authorized premium indirect agent. Let me know if you have any further questions regarding pricing or the tablet. Take care.
I don't know the monthly taxes fees and surcharges, but I noticed that Verizon's charging me for any text messages sent to my Xoom's number.
And the Xoom can't even send or receive SMS messages! That's pretty nervy.
I'm in GA as well, MidGA at that and my taxes and fees jump my bill up $7 dollars (35 dollar plan, 42 dollar bill)
Yea it was less than $3 for 1 month plus a prorated week on the $20 plan.

My discount is 25% from American Airlines, the bill says I save around $32 a month with it if I'm not mistaking. I only have TEP on my line because I tend to have problems with all my phones
the TEP for my two teens is the otterbox defender case... they know if they break the phone I'm not buying them a new one.

We have the same exact plan with the same exact phones man! crazy.
My bill is $204.50 every month with the 5 lines. That's with the 24% discount I get from my employer. I hope to god that the discount never goes away!
I pay $30 for my line and $60ish for my girlfriends line, So $90 a month, can't beat that.
My line is a concession line because I'm an indirect dealer and my girlfriends line is in my name so she gets my 22% discount.
I pay to goddamn much. 2 lines, shared 3000 minutes so I could retain my Gold Premier (Bullsh!t) is 169.00 a month, plus taxes, etc....
After taxes and surcharges I pay $176 a month,
That's an Evo, a Transform, a Crackberry, and a Sanyo Dumb Phone with 1500 Family Shared Unlimited plan. I get a 23% discount from work.
I have 2 Evos on a family plan 1500 everything data for 125 bucks after my corporate discount. Plus 9.99/month to Best Buy for insurance (no questions asked, no deductable, my wife is hard on phones)

Bought phone at bestbuy 199.99 but got free buyback which means that I get 40% of original price($650.00) when I trade it in next Feb. Ill keep doing the buy back every year cause it means bestbuy will pay me to use a phone for a year.
2 EVOS with 1500 minutes shared.

2 phones
- 1 Epic 4G
- 1 E3D or Nexus S (depending on the day)

3 lines .. Evo's ... 1500 everything.. work discount ... 145$ a mo.
why not switch to 1500? 3000 would be ideal if 50% of your phone calls are to land lines.

How do I go about doing this as well, I am also in school...this bill is ridiculous I talked to sprint several times and with 2 phones I come no where near even using 600 minutes a month...No luck !!!
It seems like everyone has a better deal then me.

How is everyone else getting a cheaper price?

750 daytime, n/w @ 8pm/ unltd data/ SMS/ mms/ roaming e.t.c. Have had this plan since '02. Only downside, stuck with Win Mobile, can't get on the Android/webOS/WP7 bangwagon (at least not legitimately) without nearly tripling my bill. No way !!

My gf wants to do this semi dubious plan and am I cuious to see if it will work.
1. Sign up for Verizon on a two year contract and get the s5 for 1 cent on Amazon
2. Quickly switch to T-Mobile and have them pay your termination fee.
3. Have Verizon unlock your out of contract phone
4. Once in T-Mobile quit and switch to Cricket Wirless
5. Unlimited Data for 35 dollars and two S5's for 2 cents
Very sneaky now the real question would it work. My doubt is that Verizon wont just let you pay the termination fee and get away with the 1 cent. However it does make sense since there was no theoretical"balance" on the phone
PS: My gf is really smart(and hot)
Most of those deals won't pay your termination fees until you have had a billing cycle or 2 with them. Double check the small print. Historically when I got fees or phones paid for by carriers or even rebates, it takes a billing cycle or 2 before they apply them.
could we see some pics of your girlfriend?
