Grand Total of Hidden Fees: $4.15
Why does the ad tell me it’s only $39.99 when it obviously isn’t, even without the extra pay-per-use frills.
At the end of a forced 2-year contract there is $99.60 worth of hidden fees:
$4.15 x 24 months = $99.60 (assuming taxes are consistent, which is based on total amount of bill).
