How much do you pay per month for your cell?

[S Freud]

T-Mobile is my provider, I have 700 anytime minutes with my faves(my faves allows me to call any five numbers at anytime including lan lines and it doesn't use any of my minutes). My GF and I share the plan with two lines and it usually comes out to around $90+/- a month(my half being $45.

I don't have data or anything like that, and my service is not always that great. I sometimes lose it in places like a mall or inside costco.

My question is how much do you guys pay and what does your plan include and who do you have?

Thanks

We are on T-Mobile too. My wife and I share a family plan with 500 anytime, unlimited night and weekend for $50 and then I have unlimited EDGE data for $20. We don't call a lot of people though - 500 minutes works fine for us - we are usually around 450 minutes used at the end of the month and I seem to use about 60MB of data per month. Our local T-Mobile service is generally very good. I have no real complaints about coverage.

Am on Sprint Free & Clear with three numbers. Here's how they split including surcharges, etc.

S720 Sierra Connection card - unlimited MB of data -
Currently $61/mo. (EVDO-Rev A)

Line 1 (primary) - 500 anytime minutes shared, unlimited nite & weekend; caller ID; call waiting, 3-way calling; currently $47/mo

Line 2 (secondary) - shared with line 1; currently $23/mo.

Total is about $130/mo.

Sprint.

500 anytime, unlim nights/weekends/mobile to mobile
Unlimited text and SMS
Unlimited data

$37/mo. $30 for service, $7 for insurance. The insurance is great. You could literally smash it with a hammer in front a of an employee and they'll replace it. Worth it if you have a $300+ phone/PDA

Yes.

Yeah. Wish I could get on that, but I'm already a Sprint customer. It would save me $30+ a month.

Sprint, three lines sharing 1100 minutes, nationwide free roaming, Sprint to Sprint, etc.

$60 all taxes and fees included.

 

[TimeKeeper]

ATT ($110 including Tax)
4 line
900 share
Free M2M Entire ATT/Cingular network
Free NW
Roll-over min. ( I don't know how this goes, after 14 months, I still got 3000 min roll over )

Global plan (ex. call England for only 8 cent a min, or call back to the U.S. from oversea.)

I think if you do travel or call oversea a lot, ATT/Cingular is the only choice.

Reduce your cell usage and switch to prepay, that's my answer.

 

[nace186]

If you really want to save money, prepay is the way to go.

With that said, I'm currently under the 700min family plan with AT&T and the bills are around $90 for 3 lines.

So, if you drop it down to 2 lines and get the 500min plan, it would be $20 bucks cheaper, around $70.

The thing about AT&T roll over plan is that, any unused minutes from one paid period to another will be counted as rollover minutes.

So, let say in a particular month, you only use 400min out of 500min allotment, the unused 100min will counts as rollover. Then if in a particular month you use 600min, the overage of 100min will be docked off from your total rollover minutes and you'll not be charge extra for it. Also, the rollover minutes will expire a year from the day they rollover.

If you want to switch, I would suggest you finding a friend that has AT&T and test out their network to see if you like it or not. If you like it, the next thing to do is to find a deal for phone. Usually different places offer different deals. For example, when I was going to switch from Verizon to AT&T, I went to an AT&T store at a mall near me and they offered free low end basic phone when you sign up for 2 line or more and only for the first 2 line will you get the free phone.

A few paces from where the AT&t store is, there's a RadioShack offered $300 gift card when you sign up for 3 lines, $150 for 2 line and $50 for 1 line, and they offered free phone for up to 3 lines. The phone they offered were not low end basic phone either, I got Moto razr v8 or something like that with retail price of $250. I jumped on the deal and got the phone, sold it on ebay for $200 and got a Sony K790a instead.

SprintPCS: $55/mo

I've ben on this current sprint plan for about 6 years. I've been out of contract for four. I've used Windows Mobile PDA phones since 2002 (Toshiba 2032 woo hoo!) and have bought my phones outright since (G1000, PPC-6600, Treo 700wx) so I wouldn't have to renew. Recently signed my wife up for SERO though. So she's only paying the $30/mo for the regular plan.

[secretanchitman]

Sprint SERO:

$30 a month
500 anytime minutes
unlimited nights and weekends (we've been on sprint for YEARS so they gave us nights starting at 6PM)
unlimited roaming
unlimited picturemail
unlimited text
unlimited power vision
unlimited sprint to sprint
1 time heavily discounted phone (i didnt use mine cause i have a 700p, and currently besides the mogul imo, their phones suck)

my mom has the $50 sero plan, and the only difference is that she gets 1250 minutes as opposed to 500.

 

[S Freud]

I was looking into the SERO plan and noticed this in the details.

-Unlimited text messaging included with all plans through 5/31/08

Does that mean that unlimited text will run out after that? Or that all plans signed up before then will get the unlimited texting?

Thanks.

[minendo]

$149.99 per month, but I do get a 20% discount. That includes 2000 anytime, unlimited text/video/pix, unlimited web, and blackberry enterprise.

 

[boomhower]

Another SERo customer here. I added the $5 unlimeted calls to home and insurance to mine. Comes out to $47 a month. The same plan with AT&T would be $110, and they wondered why a free phone and some free texts wouldn't get me to stay.

Keep in mind Sprint does have its trade offs. In my area the coverage isn't as good(obviously this will vary) but it does have high speed data which AT&T doesn't, this was the main reason for my switch. The customer service is as bad as everyone says. I have called once with a simple issue with the web site and was on the phone for about half an hour with several different people and finally just gave up. But for me the price makes it worth it.
