Cell Phone Taxes Too High in Texas

I briefly heard on NBC news a couple of days ago that, on average, Texas has one of the highest taxes on cell phone usage. The average is 20% which is about $12 on an average user's bill. My cell phone plan is $39.99, but each month, my bill ranges from $48-49. That's $8-9 in just TAXES, and I live here!! I'm not an investor buying cell phones to use them out of state!

The news video is here. It basically talks about how the state of Texas gets over $700 million a year just from cell phone taxes alone!! That's a heck of a lot of money.

What are your cell phone taxes where you live?
