i have 3750 nights and weekends (starting at 8) and 400 daytime, with free incoming minute. I use like, a 10th of that. No one calls me...sniff. Also, Sprint sucks, so I hate using my cell if I have a choice.

I'll call you! Tho' uh, it'd have to between the hours of 9:00 PM - 6:00 AM EST or on the weekend.... :eek:

$39.99--600 daytime, Unlimited N/W

Roll over for a year. Yeah, I should have about 1500 this month. I use it a lot at night, but not during the day as much.

I have 600/3000, I pay $45 a month, with free long distance.

The vast, vast majority of my calling is done during off-peak hours, & most of it is long distance - this plan works great for me.

AT&T now
74.99 /month

1380 anytime minutes/ unlimited N/W


btw nextel sucks
i hope they all burn. I've been on the phone for over 2 hours now being passed from one dept to another trying to get my account cancelled. They lied to me regarding my govt employee discount saying its 30% off when im being told now its only 5% off. And of course, i gave them the name of the cust service rep who told me 30% and switched my account over to a govt account but she doesn't work there anymore. So in their minds, they're not responsible even though she represented the company while she worked there.
AHHH!!!!!

seriously, i had NO idea people used so many minutes... thats absolutely insane!
I went over 200 a while back, thought that was brutal.


WHOA!
I dont have free evenings and weekends, (base plan is dirt cheap) so that's probably why i barely use any.

300 Anytime, 5000 Nights and Weekends. I use up maybe.. 150-200 minutes a month. The only cheaper plan has only 50 Anytime minutes.. so I went with the $30 plan to avoid having to pay $0.49 additional minute cost.

I think last month I used 130 but that was a lot of really short, 30 second calls that get rounded up. I don't talk straight for that much. I don't want to give myself brain cancer or something. :Q

I get 10,000 anytime with Cingular for $40 /month. I saw the commerical on tv once and I immediately changed my plan. Haven't seen that commercial since. Sooo much better than 150 mins/month.

my wife normally doesn't exceed the 200 anytime minutes on her plan (and we hardly use any of the weekend 3000 minutes that are included)

(Cingular employee plan. ), I also get a second line with the same features but with only 500 anytime minutes

I use approximately 1500 minutes a month - about 800 nights and weekends, 700 daytime - some of which are mobile to mobile. Cingular (they rock in TX) - 600 rollover anytime + 100 minutes (cause I called up retention today, my contract is over) - 3000 n+w, 500 mobile to mobile - $55/month, plus tax..about $63/month. It's my only phone at college - I call it automatic call forwarding, hehe.
