This is not bad news per se but something consumers should be wary of. Effective May 1st, AT&T will add a $0.61 administrative charge to your wireless bill. This is in addition to the other taxes and fees that go along with being a cellphone subscriber. This will add up to about $7.32 annually per AT&T subscriber for 2 years – which means a lot of $$$ for them.
According to AT&T, the new fee will assist to cover costs like interconnection and cell site rentals + maintenance. Don’t think they are the only carrier with additional fees consumers have to cover. 9to5Mac broke it down as Sprint has a fee of $1.99 & more, T-Mobile’s fees add up to around $1.61, and Verizon’s fees are around $0.91. Just a tidbit to keep you guys informed and knowledgeable.
