    Fees and Taxes when getting a new iPhone

    Heres my situation:

    Currently:
    I currently have a iphone 4 32gb on Verizon i am only on my second month with it on Verizon. I started a no contract month to month service. And my account currently says upgrade discount eligible.

    What I want:
    When the new iPhone comes out this month, next month, October or whenever I want to buy it on contract.
    And if apple holds with what they have been doing I plan on getting the top of the line one which is currently $399.
    +
    $99 apple care + plan or what ever it is because If I am going to get into a contract for 2 years I am going to get the best iphone and have 2 years of warranty.
    = about $500

    Questions:

    What type of taxes and fees should I be expecting when I buy the iphone with the apple care at Verizon or Apple Store online?

    What type of Fees and taxes should I expect If I reserve it online at Apple store or Verizon?

    I heard there is a Verizon upgrade fee so what should I expect for fees from Verizon when I get on a 2 year contract with the top of the line iphone?

    What total cost should I expect?

    (I live in Kansas for Taxes and what not)


    Thanks for your help!!

    Verizon charges a $30 upgrade fee. Taxes on the phone are only charged when you pick up the phone, not when you pre-order with a deposit, based on your local tax rate (state/local). Hard to give you an accurate estimate unless someone lives in the same area and has recently purchased a phone of the same price you are thinking of. At this point, the next iPhone's pricing has not been determined. Hope that helps somewhat.
    If I'm annoyed and you're annoyed, does that make us a paranoid ??

    It's not a matter of if you win or lose, it's how you assign the blame
