Does the Premium Data fee get taxed?

I have a family plan with 5 lines. We just split the bill 5 way. It used to be a straight forward (total/5=per person) but now 3 of the lines have the premium data fee and I wanted to know if I should just add the 10 to each line, or does the premium data make the taxes /surcharges go up as well?

I would just simply compare with the month before the premium data, but during the same month, we removed one of the lines so I am not sure what effect that will have.

Thanks

Why don't you let us know when you get your bill?
It might be a topic of interest for someone.

well, I have already gotten my bill but I wont be able to tell from it because we used to have a 5 line family plan and a sero 1250 on the side, but during the same month we added the premium data phones we also disconnected the sero plan so I wont be able to identify the difference in taxes

I cant say for sure but I remember on a sero of 30$ tax was like 8$ or so..and on a family plan it didnt seem to go up by much..so I think a lot of the taxes are flat fees rather then variable.

Oh... gotcha.
I really like the family plan.
You should check into the discounts too... I get a discount for working in healthcare and anoter for having a credit union account.
That can make a difference inspite of the taxes.
