How many minutes do you use on your cell phone?

[purbeast0]

I pay $50/mo for 700 minutes, then $20/mo for my girlfriends phone added on to it, so we split 700 minutes.

Then I pay $5/mo so we can each get like 250 texts/mo (maybe unlimited, not sure as we never go over), and then after taxes and all those fees it's about $93/mo that I pay verizon.

usually it's between 500 and 600 minutes we use total out of our paid minutes. We get free calls to verizon people, and free nights/weekends as well.

My plan is for 450 minutes (I think). I probably use about 100 minutes a month. I get unlimited night and weekends, and I probably log about 300 of those a month.

The plan costs $35, but after a messaging plan, taxes, fees, and the occasional international sms (which is charged separately), my bill comes out to around $50-60 a month.

On a 1,000 minute family plan with 4 lines. The bill is about $100/month. We use about 2,000 minutes a month and rarely go over. Most of that 2,000 is between my wife and myself, the other 2 lines I pay for my parents and they use about 30 minutes total.

We share 500 minutes across 4 phones. I personally use about 50 of them I think. My brother who uses it as a primary line (no landline) uses about 300. Good deal @ $85/mo. after taxes.

I get 450 anytime minutes and 5000 night / weekend minutes.

I paid a few extra bucks per month to get extended night hours (nights start at 7pm rather than 9pm)
Some months I use only 100 minutes of the anytime, some I use over 600. I still have over 1000 rollover minutes in the bank, so I am not overly concerned about when I use my phone.

I typically use about 1000 of the night/weekend minutes.

My GF lives a couple of hours away from me, so I wind up talking a lot to her on the phone .....



EDIT: I have no "land line." So this is my only phone aside from work.

we :heart: TMobile

ours is kind of messed up right now

last year we switched from VoIP+cells to just cells (well, got rid of sunrocket. we have skype, but rarely use it)

we put my wife on a seperate plan since she uses the phone 95% of our family usage. she has 1000 minutes, with unlimited in network (tmobile) and 5 faves (unlimited to 5 any type of numbers)

she has only come close to using the 1000 minutes a few times and normally uses about 700-900 minutes

the family plan we have with two other cell phones , one for me and one for the house, is 1000 minutes, unlimited in network. we only use about 50-100 minutes of that each month. when our 1 year is up, i'll probably change it to 3 lines/phones and 700 minute plan, the price should stay about the same

We have a 850 minute Cingular family talk plan, unl m2m and unl n&w. Together we use between 700-900 minutes each month, depending on what time zone I'm hanging out in I have no landline, so I use all but about 75 minutes of them; total with N&W and M2M is usually ~1500-2000. Including the $20 data plan with web and 200 SMS the bill is about $130 each month, thanks grandpa

This summer I'm in China, and so of course we are accumulating rollovers like crazy. Couldn't drop the plan though because there was nothing cheaper with the 4 phones. Here I'm going thru maybe 400Y per month ($52), including the roaming around China (yuck) and international long distance (6c/min back to USA, yep, Skype would be cheaper, but I really don't like having to be at the computer to talk, and the upload bandwidth back to USA phones is awful from here).

2 yr contract ftl

 

[j00fek]

i use only about 50-65% of my minutes every month

im on the 450 plan from vze nazis

 

[Aikouka]

I have the 450/5000 plan with AT&T as well and it all depends on how much people call or if I decide to call anyone, but sometimes, I'd get maybe 20-40 minutes used (mixed between both). As of now, I have over 4000 roll-over minutes.

 

[broon]

Unlimited minutes, roaming, data, text. I have no idea how many text messages I send or how much data I use. I use about 1000 minutes per month.

$5 per month and that's only because I have insurance.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Me and my brother have two lines and share 900 minutes plus MyCircle. We use about 40 of our normal minutes a month. I average about 5000 minutes a month and bro manages about 1500.

Not bad for a 900 minute plan

Last time I checked, Sprint wasn't offering anything less than $40 a month for I don't remember how many minutes. I only use about 50 minutes a month, and didn't like paying $40 a month for over ten times the minutes I was using, so I called to cancel service. During the call to cancel, they offered me 150 anytime minutes a month for $20 a month. Not a very good deal, but I took it considering I still on average only use a third of my minutes. Considering changing away from Sprint soon...

 

[imported_Imp]

Prepaid, but used about 5 whole minutes this past month. ~My first cell phone ever, and barely give my number out. Mainly for 'sh!t hits the fan' cases, which reminds me, gotta pay soon or lose my unused minutes...
