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.

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.

Up until recently I paid about 75.00 for my iphone 4, with 500mb data plan unlimited call/text to ten numbers and like 1500 text messages i think...

Then i phoned retention and worked out for 49.00 i get 1g data unlimited call to ten numbers plus unlimited text/video/picture messaging.






Then the fucking phone got stolen last week.

I have a Droid with Verizon. I get 18% or so off my phone plan and another 15% of my unlimited data plan because of where I work.
I pay about $75 or so a month I think...


I also have a Blackberry for work (AT&T) , but the company pays for it. Not sure what that costs 'em.

I have a family plan through Sprint. I have an Epic 4g and my wife has a Blackberry. We have 1500 minutes a month, unlimited text, Internet, and everything data. Free incoming calls from any cell in america and free nights and weekends. We pay $150 a month for all that for 2 phones. Not a bad deal.

I pay 39.99 for my minutes, 29.99 for my unlimited data plan and 5 for my 200 texts (and I always go over, but not enough to bump up to the next text level). I never use anywhere near my talk minutes (I think I talk like 20 minutes a month on it), and I'm grandfathered for an unlimited data plan that they'll have to pry from my cold dead hands. Att and iphone 3gs. I left out the fcc and all those extra charges. The total is about 90

Sprint has a plan for $109.99 per month that gives you unlimited voice anytime calling, unlimited messaging services and unlimited data services. They are also running a promotion that ends on Saturday where if you switch to Sprint they will make mail in rebates instant rebates as well as a credit of up to $125.00 (for Smart Phones) if you port your number from your exisitng carrier to Sprint to help offset any early termination fees from your current carrier. PM me if you need any additional information. Good Luck.

$118 and some change (after 15% off through a deal from work) for my wife and I. 700 minutes with rollover, 500 text messages, and unlimited data. Our rollover is accruing a lot because we do most of our talking at night, which is free. Don't use all the texts, but use enough to not lower that number. Definitely get my money's worth from the unlimited data though.

just ran across this today...

This morning T-Mobile announced a new $79.99 all inclusive plan that covers unlimited calling, texting and data. As data speeds get faster, we've seen some of the wireless carriers attempting to abandon unlimited plans, so this is a good thing, right? There is one big caveat to this new "unlimited" plan, however: consumers exceeding 2GB of data will see their data rates slowed down until their new billing cycle starts. That's where that big asterisk in the headline comes in. According to T-Mobile's internal stats, customers on average only use 1GB of data per month. These stats are factoring in all users, but what about the power users that stream video/audio or download large amounts of files that is easier to do over their HSPA+ network?

It's a good thing that they won't be absurd overage fees, but how slow will speeds get if you exceed 2GB? It's going to have to be trial and error for the time being. It looks like we'll be seeing more of Dan Hesse criticizing these kind of plans for appearing unlimited when in fact they're not. Full press release after the break.
