I am currently sitting on 761 used minutes of my first month with T-mobile and I still have 2 weeks left. Granted 75% of that is on my nights and weekends free :)

I use about 550 weekday mins per month.

We have the T-Mobile Family Time plan, 2 cell phones, 800 weekday anytime, UNLIMITED weekend with free nationwide roaming and free long distance for $69.99/mo

I've used 100 on one of my phones about about 200 on my other one. I don't know my girlfriend's usage on her phones although I would guess it's less. We share both of the plans from T-Mobile; one is 800 minutes and the other is 400.

Dam bitch's in the states!

I'm in England and get SHAFTED with crappy mobile(cell) line rentals (monthly plans) :(

Most people pay £25 ~ $35 and get 150mins or 200min anytime minutes and cross network.

You have to pay MORE to other networks :( typically about 30-35p ~ 50c! Same network during peak is a bit less but not much. After 7pm is evening. Land lines are about 25-30p ~ 38c peak.

Off peak are nights after 7pm and weekends and mobile to same network mobile is about 5p for me or 10p ~ 15c.

I'd love for an American style call plan like that.

I got a good deal and i get 1000min off peak to vodaphone and landline. No cross network minutes so that sucks. I just call less.

This month I used about 1400minutes. Most of that to my gf and I don't use the land line much so the bill for that is cheap.

B@RSTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 :)

Got the same plan, but sharing with 4 others. 200 for each, and I never went over.
