My Cingular (Philadelphia PA area) plan was marketed as $45/month.
I actually pay $60-$62.

Anybody else care to reveal their advertised vs actual rates?

About a 23% difference! Drives me nuts.

Let's see: with foundation account and a special rate that was there
one day, I pay $89.99 for 2000 minutes, plus $8.99 for a second phone.
That's $98.98.

But my bill is $112.47, I believe. That's $14 in taxes and "fees".

You mean like the price for gasoline is $0.79/gal, but with all the
taxes I pay over $2.00?

The $15-$17 is taxes and government imposed fees for the most part.
