So I'm looking for some new cell phones/plans for me and the wife. Currently, I'm on an old AT&T plan (was there before AT&T became Cingular then became AT&T again).
1200 anytime minutes
unlimited nights and weekends
unlimited mobile
nights start at 7pm.
(no texting including).
This costs me $69/month ($80 / month with fees and taxes).
I'm looking for 2 phones. I want one to be unlimited everything if possible. My wife's phone can be a pay as you go since she either uses the home phone usually (unlimited calling) or just a few minutes a day at most on the cell. I saw AT&T go phone which is $2/day but that won't keep it cheap for me if she uses it daily. I'd like texting with both phones and web on one at least if not both. I was thinking of doing the boostmobile for both phones since they have the reducing monthly fee every 6 months. Starts out at $50/month and eventually goes down to $35/month. Another idea was the straight talk deal for $45 for me which is unlimited everything and I can use the Nokia E71 which would let me use any unlocked GSM phone afterwards. For my wife, I was thinking of the virginmobile deal thats $25/month with unlimited everything (cept minutes. You get 300 minutes which should be more than enough).
That'll make my monthly $45 + $25 = $70 + any fees. BTW anyone know how much in fees/taxes I'd have to pay for straight talk and/or virgin mobile?
Also, any other suggestions or does the above seem like the best solution.
