Carrier Cost Recovery Fee

Your bill includes a monthly Carrier Cost Recovery Fee. Customers, who do not have local service with AT&T or its affiliated companies, pay a higher fee. The fee helps AT&T recover costs associated with providing state-to-state and international long distance service, including expenses for national regulatory fees and programs, connection and account servicing charges. The fee applies for each month in which you have any AT&T state-to-state and/or international charges on your bill. This fee is not a tax or charge required by the government.
