Does anyone know exactly how cell phone taxes on a Sprint account would be calculated in New York? I currently have two independent Sprint lines on the same account... is that taxed differently than two lines on a single shared plan?

The reason I ask is because I'm considering changing my plan but I don't know exactly how much extra it would cost me, since the whole structure of the plan would change as well. If anybody has Sprint's $129.99 1500 minute everything family plan in NY, how much do you pay for it? I currently pay 85.76 a month for both lines, including taxes and insurance (which I assume isn't taxed). Total for both lines is $60, which gives me about 19.6% taxes, but again, I'm not sure how a shared plan would be taxed (I was under the impression that having two independent lines would result in certain taxes being duplicated, but I set up the account that way anyway because it was still the cheapest way to go).

Too bad there's nowhere we can go to estimate the taxes for a certain carrier in a certain area.
