In today’s world the only way to avoid paying taxes on your cell phone service is to switch to a pay-as-you-go phone or a VOIP service like Vonage, ACN or Skype.
Why Are Phone Taxes So High?
The answer to this question depends on who you ask. All phone taxes from house phones to mobile phones are high because, politicians have found that phone service is one of the best sources of revenue and like alcohol and tobacco they raise taxes on it frequently every single year.
Why Pay As You Go Is Better
Let’s face it, not everyone uses their cell phone on a daily basis. Many people let their cell phone sit in their car or drawer for a few days or week before they use it and this is only wasting them a lot of money every month.
With a pay-as-you-go phone service or VOIP service, any consumer can receive unlimited calling options (depending on the service) and also have the ability to call overseas countries like France and Europe without having to pay a lot of money in fees.
