I ordered a phone online (go-phone) for 29.. Sony Ericsson T237. They have free shipping right? So i thought i would give cingular a try. Well the tax came to 10.85$ Come on now. They much include the shipping charges in the tax or something lets face it. Tax here is california is 8 cents per dollar. LOL oh well im excited to be switching to cingular. WOOT 😎

I think we have to tax on the full-retail of the phone. (Which for that phone is usually 89.99 or 9.99.) That would make more sense, but I'm not sure. Anyway, enjoy your new phone!

Yep, Cali is one of the few states that has no "free phone" deal. Gotta pay the full retail tax, no matter the sale price. Thank CPUC for that.
