Understanding My Bill

What are Monthly Access Charges?

Monthly access charges are fixed monthly charges based on your plan and optional services. Many plans include a set allowance of minutes and data that you can use any time during the month as part of these charges.

If you change your plan or services in the middle of your monthly bill cycle, an adjusted amount that includes partial month charges or credits may appear on your bill.

If you have the Share Everything® Plan, the monthly access charges on your account will vary based on the type of device assigned each line.

What Taxes are included on my bill?
