I’m wondering what service are we actually paying for every month. What does it actually cost to provide data and how do they turn your services off if you don’t pay. Even before the internet was on phones, what did it cost them to provide us with minutes? I understand the phone companies provide the phones, tablets, etc but aside from that I don’t really get what they do that costs so much.

The phone company generally does not provide the phones. Google, Apple, and, in the past, firms like Nokia and Ericcson provide phones but do not provide cell service.
Companies like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile’s job is to maintain the hundreds of thousands of towers and other facilities that receive and transmit cellular data. These facilities are what actually makes phones work.
