is "phone company" plural?

Question

Hi.

I'm trying to say "does your phone company charge you for each text", but all the translators I see use "cobran" instead of "cobra".

... compañía de telefono te cobra/cobran por cada texto?"

Gracias!

I'd use empresa, which can be compared to familia or conjunto. In Spanish, it's singular.

In English, we often say My family is great. They are the best. However, this is not the case in Spanish.

Use the singular form.
