Without a doubt

The advertised price should include all fees and taxes. I know it would help me make a better, more informed decisions.

You can't even get this information if you ask. You have to wait for your bill to arrive until you see what you're really paying.

Sprint does supply these estimates of fees added on to the advertised rates:
»nextelonline.nextel.com/ ··· up.shtml
Rates & Fees: Monthly charges exclude taxes, Sprint Surcharges [incl. USF charge of up to 14.10% (varies quarterly), Administrative Charge (up to $1.99/line/mo.), Regulatory Charge ($0.40/line/mo.) & state/local fees by area]. Sprint Surcharges are not taxes or gov't-required charges and are subject to change. Sprint chooses to collect Washington State B&O Fee of 0.471% of your monthly billed charges to recover its costs. Details: sprint.com/taxesandfees.
This gets you in the ballpark and when I signed up for Sprint this past summer, they gave me the fees Added on when I asked them.

USF fees constantly change and state & local sales taxes and excise taxes vary by location.

And that bill is usually for calls/service from the previous month up to, but including the next month.

I've not had that problem. Each time I've asked what my total bill will be, I've been given the numbers, at least within a percentage point or two.

Putting a stop to blatant false advertising and fraud should be job-1 at the FTC.

The better question is....why do we need to get in their face to have this be the #1 priority?

Why in god's name has this not already been taken care of?

It is mind-boggling to me
