How much to you guys pay for your cell phone service? My contract for AT&T is up in May. I've been with them for more than 10 years. We currently have unlimited talk/text and 2Gb for data(shared). For the two of us, we pay almost $100 incl taxes, which I think is WAY too much. Since we work from home most of our cell data use is via wifi ($45/mo) so we don't use our data. What company do you guys use? Are you happy with them and how much to you pay? The biggest concern I have is coverage. Not a big deal when at home or out and about in the city, but driving "home" to CA from Vegas. the vast open desert. If something where to happen, I need coverage all the way. AT&T covers that area. Who else? I heard Criket uses AT&T towers. Does anyone know if this is true? |
My husband and I have AT&T, we only pay $30 for both our lines but he gets a pretty good discount because he works there. Also AT&T doesn't offer unlimited data any longer so once you get rid of it you can't get it back, so I would really think about that before making a decision. My husband had a customer 8 weeks ago who had unlimited data and canceled his service to go to sprint but decided to come back to At&t after a week and wanted his unlimited data back but he wasn't able to get it back since they don't offer it anymore, the guy was pretty pissed off. My husband says yeah AT&T could be pricy but the coverage is better than anything else. Hope this helps a bit (: |
We were with Alltel for almost 15 yrs before they got bought our by AT&T/ we were only paying $59 for the first line $0 for the 2nd lines unlimited talk and text. AT&T matched that but they do it differently but ends up being the same cost. They charge per line. |
I don't know for sure how much we'd pay bc right now, Tony's firm pays for our cells. BUT, I was just talking to someone yesterday who was paying $372 a month w/ Verizon...he then switched his whole family over to Ting - and they now pay $99 a month. That's huge savings. |
I use to have AT&T but switched to Verizon because we weren't getting reception in SC when we were down there. The switch increased my bill almost 60$ a month and we lost unlimited Our bill is now 214. And that is with a discount for nurses the number of people 4 on our plan hasn't increased either. |
Go phone plan with ma bell Unlimited talk text and 4 Gb For 60 a month |
I have a very old Verizon plan . . I pay $160 for family plan . I have 1000 mins to split and unlimited Verizon to Verizon text but unlimited data. . I don't use that much of it. They want me to upgrade my phone but I lose the unlimited data. . .i think it is unfair so I still have the plan but an older phone. I have to buy a phone outright to keep my plan. |
My phone is paid for by work so I really don't know what it costs. It is Sprint/Nextel and I hate it. Drops calls on a regular basis. There are certain areas that if I am on the phone I will tell the person I am talking to that I am about to lose them. My gf has Verizon. Not cheap but by far the best coverage in Michigan. You get what you pay for. |

The go phone is the plan from AT&T The phone is an I phone. This is all I use for the web except when I go on line at work. |
We have 3 smart phones on Verizon and our plan runs right at 200.00 per month if we don't go over our data. Thats unlimited text, and 2gb data per phone. I guess that averages 62.00/phone/month. Based on what everyone else is posting our plan seems kinda high. :eek::eek: |

After seeing all the Walmart "unlimited" ads on tv I went to their site and checked. It's not unlimited. The $29.88/mo is for the first line only and 500mb of data. How is that unlimited? The other plan is $39.88/mo with 2.5gb of data. So after fees and taxes that would still be more than what I am paying. Once I take off the insurance on my plan it will be $43/mo per phone. No way the Walmart plan fees are less than $3. Looks like I don't have a choice but stay with AT&T. |

just one phone |
Yeah that's way more than what I'm paying now and way too much data. |
lost me on the way too much data?? |
We barely use 1 gb between the two of us, and AT&T does the rollever data now. So I wouldn't pay more for more data when I don't even use up what we get now. |
Tmobile - one line for a mobile broadband because we have a mobile business and need internet on the go for credit cards, etc. Three more regular lines - unlimited talk, text and data 4G. $148.00 monthly with all taxes and charges. |
Currently, AT&T, about $15 a phone, unlimited talk and text/messages, no internet, extra for international calls. It's an extended family plan... sister/brother in law account, last I heard 6-8 people on the plan, each phone line has a separate billing listed in the bill. I just pay the brother in law about 6 months in advance, twice a year and it's trouble free. No insurance but with no internet, all ya need is a slide out phone with a qwerty key board and you're good to go. I think sis and the bro in law have the internet added to their phones for extra. If you have a few close friends interested, make some inquiries, see what options are available to you. I saw an ad that mailed a separate bill to each phone of these extended family plans also.... call em up and ask... I'm paying about what I paid for a land line about 30 years ago. ;) Might look into Consumer Cellular.... sounded pretty cheap a while back. |

Until they bumped me up to 4 Gb a couple months back, I was always running out of data at 2 1/2 Gb. 6 of 1 and a half a dozen of the other. I'm not hooked up to the internet just the phone. It all comes down to a persons needs. Having good coverage is vital. I had a contract with spring and wasn't able to use it at work. I dropped them. I got tired of paying for what I wasn't getting. You can always barter with your provider. When you're contract is up check around see what prices are out there and call your provider to see what they will offer to keep you |
2 Smartphones. Unlimited talk/text. 1 GB data (with an additional free GB for customer loyalty). $120ish/month after taxes and employer discounts, etc. Verizon In my situation I can't have calls dropping all the time. It is either Verizon or AT&T around here. Verizon has been good to us. My sister and BIL have Ting. It runs off of Sprint. While they are very nice and gery cheap the coverage is crummy here. In Port Huron (near border) the BIL's phone roams to Canada. We prefer paying a chunk and getting good coverage. |
We pay $202 a month for 2 smart phones with unlimited talk and text and 30 gb of internet data. We live out in the country so Verizon is the only cell service that works well for us. Also we tether our cell phones to our computers for our internet service at home. |

Well apparently they don't offer free phones anymore if you resign your contract. I've been shopping around and looks like for what we need AT&T is still going to be the best for us. But bf's phone is so old, we thought we could walk in and resign and get a new (older model) phone for free or for $100 like in the past. Nope! They don't do that anymore. At least not in store. Now they just have you buy the phone outright at full retail ($500+ and not even for the newest model!), or they break up the phone into payments. Why don't people just buy a slightly older model off ebay then? Some people just have to have the latest and greatest I guess. I'm going to check AT&T's website and see if they still offer anything online with resigning the contract. What about people like MIL who don't want a smartphone, only wants a flip phone? She uses an ipad at home for internet. Even the largest of smartphones will be too small for her 70 year old eyes. |
My grandma and I share a family plan, so we have a 3rd line that never gets used, like a cheapo flip phone. Total we end up paying somewhere around $180/month I believe. We have 10gb of data per month. My dad pays a lot more w/ Verizon, he's about to switch to sprint. |

google brought me this: AT&T Mobile Share Value® plans with Unlimited Talk & Text Unlimited 1 GB $25.00 /mo. + Device access charge Basic Phone Access Charge$20.00/mo. smart phone service costs more so, 2 non-smart phones is $65 total per month. plus the crazy taxes. Mobile Share Plans from AT&T There were higher data plans that had a lower cost per added phone monthly charge... so, they still have the plans available. I pay $15 a month, Robyn pays $15 a month, I don't want internet on my phone. LOL :) Certainly the share value plans wouldn't work for everyone but, ya owe it to yourself to look into them to find out.. |
and, I get a free slide out phone every two years when I commit for an additional 2 years. This July will be 4 years of using this service. |
