What other charges are included in my invoice?

All our prices are listed before taxes and surcharges. Taxes include federal, state and local taxes. Generally, these taxes can range from 15% to 35% of your bill, depending on where you live. Many of the taxes on a cellphone invoice are the same as those you would see on your current cellphone bill, or home phone bill. If you would like a full list of applicable cellphone taxes for your area, contact your local government taxing authority.

Your invoice will also include charges for any additional items you've included with your service, such as EasyPay payments, Asurion or AppleCare+ protection plans, Roadside Assistance, etc.

The Operational Compliance Fee is assessed by Consumer Cellular to help defray fees and expenses to comply with government, regulatory, and industry standards or requirements. This fee is not a tax or government imposed fee and is subject to change.

Most cellphone companies apply a one-time activation fee to offset the cost of activating and to help reduce fraud. Consumer Cellular charges a $10 one-time per-line network activation fee.
