I was looking into the 25$ or 35$ monthly plan (without contract) from Virgin Mobile. Keep in mind I am set on this and any answer that tells me to pick another provider will not get 10 points. Quote from Virginmobileusa.com Rates exclude taxes and surcharges — which include federal USF charges, state USF charges, and e911 charges that may vary, and which also may include a cost recovery charge, to help defray our costs incurred in complying with Federal and State telecom regulation. These surcharges are not taxes or government-required charges. Well i tried calling them and i couldnt get a real person. Does anyone know or have this stuff...?
