T-mobile now has N&W on friday-sunday on plans $39.99+. I think this is sweet combined with the free GPRS thingy.

Right now I'm on cingular family rollover, 3 lines total, and use a heckuva lot of N&W (over 1700 a month), and about 70% of out alloted anytime minutes(we have 600 each month); so we have quite a bit of rollover saved up.

I use about 1300-1600 peak minutes, 600-800 mobile to mobile and about 300-400 nights/weekends.

Wow. I thought I was going to have one of the highest minutes per month, but I guess not! I use, on average, 2200-2500 minutes every month on my cellular service.

I work at home now so I hardly need to use my anytime minutes (if only I got a good signal in the house too). Anyway, in a typical month, I'd say about 200 total. I pay just under $30/mo. after taxes, so no big deal.

Hey are they free mobile to SAME network mobile or just mobile to ANY other mobile providor? Interesting you said mobile as I don't think I have seen any American call it that. You guys normally refer to it as a Cell instead.

As if that was the case DAM man we are definately get the short end of the stick :(. Hell man I'd have no need for loads of minutes then if I had that. A few 100 for the day and I'll be fine. 95% of my calls are with my gf. SO glad she is on the same mobile company as me. Otherwise I'd speak to her less often as it is pricey at 35p a minute!

He means within the same provider. I'm not aware of any plan that allows free calls to any cell provider.

I typically call it a cell however when I refer to the free minutes I call it a mobile. My carrier is T-Mobile and they call them T-Mobile to T-Mobile minutes which just takes too long to type and say, so I just say mobile to mobile.

Correc. Only T-Mobile to T-Mobile, if I were to call a Sprint PCS mobile phone it would not be free.

I use both words cell and mobile.

Being married to an Aussie, she pollutes my head with these Commonwealth words such as mobile :)

Oh I see. Yeah most of my friends are on the same network also.

Most people in England are on Vodaphone. Cheaper in the long run. A bunch of your friends are on one network. Then others join and when you decide to upgrade or switchh you all go to the same network with your friends also = cheaper calls.
