As if it wasn't bad enough they were charging for Detailed billing $.99 per
month the started charging customers for Voice mail and caller ID on select
rate plans below $59.99 per month.

At first the services were $1.00 per month extra

Then about 6 weeks ago it went to $2.00 per month

Effective today it will be $2.99 per month per service on their next
invoice.

AND NO THEY WILL NOT BE GRANDFATHERING IN OLD ACCOUNTS.

As if the Taxes and addtional sur charges weren't crazy enough now they are
really jacking up the ARPU.

$39.99 monthly rate plan
$2.99 Voice mail
$2.99 Caller ID
$.99 Detailed billing
$2.86 Regulatory Fees
$2.82 6% PA sales tax
$2.35 5% PA gross celluar tax
$1.04 Fed Tax

$56.03 Total amount

UPDATE: 8/30/04
Effective today with your August bill your rate plan will now increase an
addtional $0.50 per month. Just another way they will nickle and dime you
to death.
