we are at like 168 for two phones (evo's) with insurance on sprint. take off the insurance, it would be 154. i'll be dumping insurance in june when i can get a standard upgrade.

I have the Incredible the wife has a Chocolate

he.who.forgets

i have a smartphone paid for my my work (an Samsung Epic, i think). I couldnt imagine how much it would actually cost me on a standard contract; unlimited minutes, text, internet, etc. Havent had a personal cell phone in years....one of the perks I guess.

acoustic guy

Yea but what company? Verizon Sprint what?

depends on your needs and usage.

if you want to go cheap, get a magic jack and make all your calls from home, and than if you need cell get a prepaid (we had tmobile). my cell cost was less than a hundred bucks a year, but i didn't text and only really used it when i needed to call the woman when i was out and about.

Unless you have some crazy plan with thousands of minutes

How many minutes do you use a month ?

I text like crazy and use the internet on it. And tons of minutes bc of work but i know there must be a cheaper way.

sprint

in my research before buying, sprint was the cheapest. alot of cell companies also offer a discount off the list price if you work for certain companies or are a member of a credit union.

that's pretty crappy of them.

minutes is what i would be worried (regardless of carriers) about assumign you have to call land lines during the day.

one phone with unlimited everything on sprint is 109 + tax

CROJAM95

$105-$108 AT&T Iphone 3GS...with 450 minutes(rollover) 1500 texts, unlimited data, 7pm nights

I was careful the 1st couple of months to build rollover...and I'm pretty sure there is no more unlimited data unless you are on your original contract with unlimited

AT&T and Sprint sound good. I need to investigate

if you are in a 4g market, get a 4g phone. yummy.

check out the plans for each of the major carriers to see if there plan fits your needs....if you have a smaller local, check them out too.

sprint was best for us when we decided to go with a superphone

I have a T-Mobile one for about 70 a month. I didn't really want one, but the other one died on me after three years. It's a decent phone, only thing that sucks is you have to charge it every other day. Considering the few people that call me or let alone seem to know I exist, I'm not sure why I have it.

chromiam

HTC Hero for $80 month on Sprint (unlimited plan messaging and data, 450 minutes)

Green Circle

I have three lines, Mine, the wife and my daughter.
AT&T. Wife and I both have Samsung Captivates and my daughter a Samsung Flight
All Smart phones

185.00 per month. Unlimited text and Web, 700 minutes to share and we don't even come close to using
that many, PLUS we can now call any other mobile phone service at no charge.

i have a droid with verizon and pay 130 a month unlimited everything

With T-mobile I was paying $80 a month. I wasn't using the internet much though and when I was it was just out of habit.

I just moved to Verizon yesterday, but only paying $50 because I cut out the web.

T-Mobile was good I thought. I had them for almost 10 years. Cheap with good customer service and decent phones.. Hopefully that AT&T merger fails. I only hear bad things of AT&T.

Verizon is a little pricier, but my girlfriend and my best friend use it, so I'm doing it for the mobile to mobile advantage.

My home Verizon Fios with their medium good package, plus high-speed internet, plus smart phone, plus taxes is about $180. Though I have maybe 350 minutes and a text and data plan. ...so, yeah.

I preferred DirecTV's interface, as HD channels were the same number as their SD counterparts, but the box would know which to pull.... but aside from that I've been happy. And they'll do a "one bill" with your cell phone too. Also since it was already installed at my house from the previous owner, when I decided to switch from DirecTV, they had me with no contract. Their rates recently went up for me. They said I was on a promotion. But again, under $200 for everything is pretty good.

that is good. we are at like 233 for cell and tv (dish americas 250) with no home phone or internet (we tether the computer off the phones).

Hows the keyboard? Apparently AG's current keyboard/keypad sucks.

jethrojam420

your best bet with vz is to find a friend or fam who wants to split the charges. only 10 bucks more pp. im with my fam and pay 70 pp unlimited everything. well, 2500 minutes shared but with free vz to vz we never come close.

i'll add you to mine, but you gotta pay for the entire time up front.
