I'm heading off to college this fall and I'm trying to formulate a budget for an iPhone 4 plan.

I'm know I'm going with the 450 minute plan at $39.99 and the 2GB data plan for $25. All my friends use Facebook to communicate, so I'm not going to get a texting plan.

So I'm looking at 65 bucks before taxes/fees/etc.

What would be a good estimate for a final monthly fee?
 
My taxes and fees are about $20.00 on top of my bill. Everything included, my bill is around $165.00 a month, with $139.99 being voice, text, and data.

:O

Well the taxes/fees on a 65 dollar plan should be considerably less than a 139.99 plan. Right? Your plan is twice as much as mine. I don't need a ton of minutes. I just checked my verizon bill from last month and I used a whopping 145 minutes. While 90% of my talk time was nights/weekends. So 450 will be more than enough for my needs.
 
Anyone have a NBI account with multiple zip codes from different states? Just curious how that effects the taxes.

Do you get taxed by each state?

It should not be the same. I am not sure if the fees are set though.

I was just trying to give you an idea. My husband and I only have 550 minutes, but since mostly everyone we know has AT&T, it is mobile-to-mobile. Therefore, we hardly use any of those minutes.
