Surcharges and fees

Our family plan contract (with unlimited data) is over and we are considering different options including prepaid.  Do the prepaid accounts have the same surcharges and government fees that are charged on the family plans?  From the description, it appears there is just a flat fee (of course taxes will be added).  Same question on the 65-plus plan.

Thanks

The 65+ plan would have the taxes and surcharges etc.  The prepaid I believe depends on the prepay plan.  If you have the phone where you purchase minutes as you need them, then I would imagine not.  If it's a prepaid plan where you pay a set amount every month and no contract then I would say yes to the taxes/surcharges etc.  Hope this helps:)

Actually on the prepaid plans there are no Federal Taxes, sur charges when you buy or purchase the prepaid card there is a tax, for the $30.00 card I pay $1.20 cents, I don't know if the price goes up with the cost or if that price is considered a sales tax for the purchase of card.
