I'm currently with Cingular. I pay about $60 per month, for two lines. One for myself ($39.99) and one for my mother (an additional $9.99).

I was considering upgrading my old RAZR to a pearl or blackberry 8800. With the basic data plan and voice + the additional plan, I'm looking to spend close to $90. What do you guys think about this price per month for cell phone coverage?

I think something like $45/month... it was the cheapest verizon call that offered free in-network calling or something. don't remember. I've had the same plan for like 4 years now.

I pay $60/month, but I get unlimited minutes, free long distance and free roaming anywhere in North Am. Believe me, its worth it, for as much as I travel and love to talk.

$82/month (includes taxes). Verizon, one phone line, 450 minutes, free incoming (fellow Verizon customers only I think), "unlimited" data, and a text/MMS plan that I don't even know the details about. That's after a small company discount. I think it's overpriced. But I write it off on taxes and the coverage in my main area is excellent.

i think mine is about $53 or $54 after taxes. i think the base is $39.99

i think thats too much for the little bit that i use it.
all the prepaid or pay as you go plans seem to cost as much anyway, charging a dollar a day even if you don't use it and then the charge for the call. it ended up being about the same price anyway.

$85/month for 4 lines and 700 minutes on a Family Plan with T-Mobile.

Our contracts are all up so I'm debating where else to go, but right now, this seems like the best deal as I also get a corp. discount with my company.

Verizon

Moto Q

Unlimited Data plan and 900 anytime mins plus unlimited nights and weekends and mobile to mobile.

With tax it's about $120 a month with an employee discount through the place I work!

But it's worth it in the end at this point since I use my email all the time and has just recently helped me secure a new job that I wouldn't have been able to do without it plus being able to neff on ATOT when I'm bored or waiting somewhere is a bonus :p

Also I have no house phone so it helps justify it a bit I suppose.

It's an Alaskan carrier, GCI. It was a special offer I jumped on, and was eligible for because GCI also handles my internet, HD cable, and phone service.

I pay $90/mo for my phone and my girlfriends.

We share 700 minutes ($49.99 for my phone, $19.99 for the extra line), and then we each have 250 text messages which is $5/piece extra, and then with taxes and other BS fees it comes out to about $90/mo.

This is through verizon.

I pay about $65 a month for me...I'm with US Cellular and have 1000 anytime minutes, unlimited incoming calls, free nights and weekends (starting at 7), 250 texts a month, and free in-network calling. My base package before any extras is about $50 a month, I think.
