Well I finally got an email answering my question. For those interested here is the answer. I have a $40 plan. For auto renewal all I need to do is to set up the renewal for $40. When it is time for the renewal to be charged against my credit card the $40 plus any additonal charges such as state sales tax and 911 fee will also be deducted which will be a total of $43.10. Wow, what an ordeal trying to get a simple question answered. Hopefully the Gophone customer service will evolve to get email and chat capability the next time I have a question.
Anywho, thanks everyone for helping me get my questions answered.
