Alltel in South Carolina, here. The $39 plan is over $47 after
the bureaucrats get their cuts. Every fiefdom wants some. It's
obscene. There'll be more taxes, now with the additional $25/mo
EVDO data added to that. $64/mo will total over $75.

I justify it by not having an AT&T landline at home, which I
consider obsolete. I'll never figure why someone with a
SELLphone they're paying so much for has another drain on their
funds with a useless landline with even MORE stupid addon
charges, like "long distance", a throwback into the 1930's.

People are stupid.
