Verizon America's Choice (National Plan):
400 peak minutes for $40;
Unlimited N+W;
No charge for domestic long distance (I don't even have long distance on my home phone);
1000 Mobile to Mobile (since my sister and father also use Verizon, this usually conserves about 100 peak minutes per month, leaving my typical peak usage somewhere between 200 and 300).
My $40 plan costs a little less than $45 on the bottom line.
I know I could get more peak minutes on a $40 plan from someone else, but my usage wouldn't change, and I never go over my allowance as it is. Competitors' local and national plans for $30-35 offer too few peak minutes or lack free long distance, so I know $40 is my magic number.
I wouldn't change from Verizon unless I was going to save money. I won't dump my home phone to save money either, because my cell phone number is my private number. I don't give that out to anyone and everyone, because when I'm out, I'm probably busy. If you're my friend, you can have my cell phone number. Otherwise, you can call me at home. (If you're kind enough to leave a message when I'm not home, I'll be a good sport and call you back.
