Suddenly this $10/mo apple watch plan is costing me $28 a month because of taxes and "fees" (alien.top)

WTF. This is my first month with a cellular apple watch.

I just got the first bill and its almost SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS in addition to my phone.

$35 activation fee

$10 watch data

$18 for taxes and fees

While I definitely disagree with the $35 activation fee, I understand it's just a one time charge, but holy shit how can anyone justify almost $30 a month. Literally the fees and taxes cost more than the actual product.

Switch to a prepaid service like Visible and pay $5 as in $5.

I've been trying to look into visible, but I don't quite understand it and the reviews are very mixed. The price is appealing, but if it's not moderately fast / reliable then what's it worth.

In my experience it worked great, but their customer service is chat only unless you have a major technical issue. But the coverage is as good as Verizon and speeds are solid.
