Why this site exists
A carrier can raise what you pay without touching the advertised plan price, by changing a fee that sits under the plan: a regulatory charge, a recovery fee, an administrative charge. The change is announced on a support page or in a bill message, and news coverage tends to arrive late and without the exact amounts per line.
We keep the plain record of those fees, carrier by carrier, with the effective dates.
How we check things
- We read the official source - the statute, the agency's publication, the company's own page - and record what is printed there.
- Every figure carries the date we checked it. Figures change, and a date lets you judge whether a page is still current.
- When we cannot confirm something, the page says it is unconfirmed. We do not estimate a figure or a date to fill a gap.
- When a figure changes, we update the page and keep the earlier figure with its dates where that helps.
How pages are written
We draft pages with the help of AI tools. Before a page is published, every figure, date and quotation on it is checked against the source the page cites, and those sources are listed at the end of the page. Where a check is not possible, the page says so.
What we do not do
We do not recommend a carrier or a plan, and we do not sell phone or internet service. Coverage, speeds and customer service vary by location and are outside what we record. Nothing here is legal or financial advice.
We do not accept payment to include a company or a product, to leave one out, or to describe it in a particular way.
How the site makes money
Some links to companies may be affiliate links. If you buy or sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. What we cover and what we say about it is decided before any link is added, and a company with no affiliate program is covered the same way as one that pays. This is disclosed at the top of every page and next to the links themselves. See the privacy policy for the full detail.
