Carrier My bill...

[Legionnaire]

The billing address has nothing to do with the taxes applied to the account. I just found this out when I was complaining about my bill constantly changing. There is a section under your AT&T profile called User Information. In that section there is something called "Place of primary use." This location is what your taxes are based on. I found out I have been paying California taxes for two years after I moved despite changing the billing address.

I complained and they gave me a $25 credit. Pretty measly, but it was something. I later noticed that they doubled my data plan for the next two years (from 3GB to 6 GB), presumably to make up for it.

guess you are right

City utility taxes here in California have only been going up.

Thanks OP, I called AT&T Retentions and was also able to get the Nation 300 minute plan for $29.99. I was on the 450 minute plan, which they had upgraded to unlimited talk a couple months ago, so I had to give up that feature. Unlimited talk was unnecessary since I average less than 100 minutes a month. I also had to forgo free mobile to mobile calling and free weekends, but I had over 5200 rollover minutes from the old plan, which she re-added to my account and they should be more than sufficient for quite some time. I still have the $10/mo unlimited text messaging and the $30 unlimited data plan. Very pleased. Thanks for the heads up.
