Add $18 to the cost of my MacBook, in toll-free calls. Toll-free calls aren't toll free on cellphones, as I knew, they count as part of your minutes that you use up. Well, it turns out that the day I spent 91 minutes on the phone getting my iBook replaced with a MacBook was the last day of my June-July billing cycle, and I used up my 450 included monthly minutes 40 minutes into that call. This's actually a shocker to me, I've never done it before, and only got close once when on a 300 minute plan. However, before I jump off to increase my minutes, I have to remind myself that $23 on one single occasion (there were a couple more calls afterwards on the same day) is much less than upping my plan and always paying $10 more every month. If it happens a few more times though, then I'll consider it.

Wow, an $18 toll-free call. That's a first.
