Your Cell Phone Plan

[PhilDernerJr]

We've spoken about what cell company you use, but let's get more into it.

I use T-Mobile, and I also have Mel's account under mine.

We have a Family Plan of 2,000 minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile and unlimited texts messaging for $120. Mel has a Blackberry and we're charged an additional $30 for her blackberry Enterprise service.

After taxes on that, if we don't go over or have any other charges, it's about $175 a month. I think it's pretty good.

What about you folks?

I have Verizon but I have no idea what plan I'm on now. My company took over my plan and converted it to w/e plan we have with Verizon. I was paying about 66 bucks a month on my last plan, 39 a month for 400 mins, free nights and weekends, then I had the text message plane for like 10 or 15 bucks a month. Verizon's service is great but their customer service isn't.

t-mobile. 100 anytime minutes, 1000 texts and insurance. comes out to less than $50 a month pre-taxes. definately do not miss nextel! :mrgreen:

Verizon. Like 46 bucks a month including taxes and fees. I take advantage of their IN-network.

[flyboy 28]

Verizon. I share the plan with my mom, as my dad has a company cell phone. We get 700 shared minutes and I get unlimited "IN" texting and 1500 out-of-network texts. Comes to about $90 a month.

Cingular is not so bad. Me and My wife both Have the Blackberry Curve with all the options. Final bill after the whopping 8% World Air Holdings discount is $170 a month and we always have rollover minutes.

[hiss srq]

With a star alliance and USAirways discount for a grand total of 28% off so just over a quarter and about every option on my two phones you can have I spend about 110 a month so not too bad a deal. When I lived in Florida still I had Cingular for my personal cell phone and Metro PCS as my work line and I have no idea what the metro bill was but I paied about 60 a month for it all on a Razor because my ex gf worked for Cingular.

I have Cingular/AT&T. 450 anytime minutes, 5,000 nights/weekend, unlimited mobile to mobile, no roaming or long distance charges, roll-over on unused anytime minutes. I don't use text messaging, and I use it as my primary phone (no "home" phone) and I think the most I have used in a month is about 550-600 minutes, usually in the 300-350 minute range, so I have a ton of roll-over minutes. Cost is $39.99/month plus taxes & fees, works out to around $48.

[PhilDernerJr]

No roaming? Does that include international?

Last month my international roaming charges alone totaled $427.

[stuart schechter]

No, you get charged for international. I have the same plan.

[moose135]

Yeah, probably doesn't include international roaming, Phil. I forgot you're a globetrotter these days :wink:

I have Cingular ATT with a Treo 750. I have the 2000 minute plan, with international roaming (discounts international), unlimited PDA Data and a second account for an air card for my lap top, also unlimited data.

I was paying $170 taxes in for the first plan, but with the new air card it comes out to about $240.

The best part is I can expense it.

For those traveling on business regularly like I (Hi from SEA by the way), the air card is a viable alternative to paying 10-12 a day at hotels for internet. 5 nights a month in a hotel and the air card pays for itself.

I have Sprint and my plan has 1000 anytime minutes and unlimited evenings and weekends. Texts are $0.10 each, but I never use them, so I don't care. I have free roaming too. With taxes and everything, I pay between $69-$75 a month. It varies because sometimes I make international calls.
