Assuming you are buying a unlimited dialing prepaid annual - here are some helpful things to know . The provider pays per 1/10th minute both directions for you to talk on the phone. The price is so low they can reasonably guarantee profit across thousands of subscribers. They will collect taxes (tariffs) based on what their software tells them to do and remit to either individual governments OR what most of us do is pay a tax regulation service to do it all. It’s really 28-30% for anywhere in US if doing an estimate. Although you are within your rights to question it, I would be annoyed if a customer did so as I am taking on a lot of risks of being wrong about the customer usage. Certainly ask for real tax rates on invoices if you sign up. Also FYI some of the taxes are per DID (line) and not percent based. They tried to break it out between tax and regulatory fee but I prefer to break out at least into 911, FCC, state telecom and state sales tax. If you add the two together is slightly over 30%
