Next up, if you have landline phone service with AT&T, you might want to take a closer look at your bill.
The phone company added a new 2 dollar fee to landline bills in March.
The "Tennessee regulatory inspection fee" is designed so AT&T can recoup the money its required to pay the Tennessee Regulatory Authority.
Now, AT&T says the $2 fee was a one-time charge, but they're also planning a monthly inspection fee that will start later this year. AT&T says it hasn't figured out how much that fee will cost customers, but it will be less than $2.
The new fees may be enough to convince some landline customers to ditch their home phone service altogether.
