Taxes and fees

For customers using our Premium cellular voice service

Why am I charged a Regulatory Recovery fee?

As the costs of complying with government regulations have increased over the years, most wireless providers have had to introduce a Regulatory Recovery Fee.

UNREAL Mobile has added a small fee to help offset the growing burden of government regulatory compliance. This is in addition to any pass-through taxes that we may be required to collect and cover on your behalf. 

We have done our best to make our Regulatory Recovery Fee as low as possible - in fact, it is among the very lowest in the industry. 

You can find additional information related to our Regulatory Recovery fee in our Terms and Conditions found at https://www.unrealmobile.com/terms_and_conditions.

Why am I charged an Administrative fee?

Why am I charged a Regulatory and Recovery fee?

Regulatory and Recovery fees are taxes, fees, and surcharges applied to your UNREAL Mobile services in accordance with federal, state, and local laws.

This fee may apply if you live in an area where regulatory taxes have been implemented, such as San Francisco or Indiana. These charges allow us to continue providing access to the mobile network and supporting service in your area.
