What plan do you have (and with which provider)?

Nothing spectacular; I'm on Verizon with ACII Family Share 1400 minutes with the standard N&W, M2M. I have the 500 IN messages on my line with messaging blocked on the 2nd line; I'll be downgrading to 250 messages next cycle. I have the Ringback tones on my line as well. The BackUp assistant is quite useful and free Thatr sums it up... the down side is the bill but I'd gladly pay for something that works.

 

Verizon Wireless. 39.99 month free N&W, added $10.00 unlimited IN-Text Pix Flix messaging. 500 unlimited text to other carriers. its a great pl;an since i text alot.

 

I have Cellular One's National 1500 shared minute plan ($80.00)

I also have 1000 text messaging plan ($10.00)

nights starting at 7:00pm ($5.00)

Unlimited Blackberry Data Consumer package, or BIS ($30.00)

Plus I have 2 other lines ($9.99 for each)

So my average monthly bill is about $173.00

 

I forgot my $12 discount...

Here is the price break down:

$77.99 for the 2 lines
$10 for the unlimited IN messages (it'll be $5 since i'm moving to the 250)
$.99 for the ringback tones

The bill is ~$105 after taxes and fees

 

I just migrated from AT&T Blue to Orange so here is what I got.

700 Anytime shared plan $69.99 + 29.97 = $99.96
Unlimited N&W and M2M

Early N&W 7-7 $16.99

Unlimited shared SMS $29.99

5 lines

I am not positive what it will come out to, with taxes & my discounts, but somewhere around $140.00 a month or less. If they discount the extras then I should be around $135.00 or less.

AT&T/Cingular
59.99 plan
14.99
Media works bundle 1000 messages and 5MB Media Net.
plus AAA discount which amounts to about 7 to 10 dollars a month.
My bill is usually around $75.00 after taxes.

What I don't understand is there is a Media works 1500 package for the same amount I am paying for only 1000 messages, maybe I should change.

 

It's giving you the same amount of MB a month too? then without a doubt I would change, especially if someone keeps texing you like crazy.

 

Currently I have the Family Talk Nation 550 plan with 2 lines from Cingular/AT&T.

Unlimited N&W, Unlimited M2M, rollover. I also currently have the 5mb Smartphone Connect data plan on my line for $9.99.

Works well for my purposes. I only use about 300 anytime mins/mo because most of my usage is M2M or N&W. I have about 2,500 minutes in my rollover pool so I pretty much talk as much as I want and not care how many minutes are used.
