I don't have one. I can't bring myself to sign a 2 years contract.

I go strictly prepaid now. I spent $91 refill card (no tax) for $100 with tmobile, that bought me 1000 minutes.

$70 for a blackberry on sprint. pre-paid may be less expensive with as few calls as i actually make.

i really should have done the SERO thing last time i went on contract. i was already a sprint customer and there were conflicting reports of whether it worked or not. so i called retentions which basically built me a sero plan. but when i went off contract the rates went to their regular rates instead of staying like the sero plans did.

Lets see.... I have it in front of me...


$8,300.87

Edit:

This is for ~60 blackberries and ~5 iphones.

I also have ~30 Verizon blackberries, that bill is usually around $2500

I just guessed but went in to check the exact amount and mine is 30.35 for last month. The difference is likely the difference between state taxes.

I listed $15 per month, but that's what I need to keep my minutes rolled over. I actually use less than that, and I would guess between $5 and $10 per month is accurate.

I'm on a family plan with Sprint

Three lines with 1500 shared minutes and unlimited data, text, video and cell to cell for 150ish (at least one of the phones has insurance, I think) and 25% corporate discount

So I guess $120ish with everything

I may switch to Verizon though, since I can get a similar deal.

$2027.99 for November.

That is for 35 phones, a mixture of blackberries (5) and regular phones. Average of ~$58 / phone.

Current is $0.00/month since June.

Used to pay $50/month with Verizon Wireless but use it only for emergencies <30 minutes/month on a 450 min/month plan. Looking at the pay as you go cellphone plans, maybe AT&T with their rollover.

Still have AT&T phone at the house. Comcast keeps bugging me to move to their phone service.
