How much is your wireless phone bill??

[NY_Yankees_Fan]

I have same amounts of talk, text data since last June with Cricket wireless which is on ATT network for $35. month. What I like about their prices is it includes all taxes and is flat $35. The plan was $40, but if you put it on charge card you get the extra 5 bucks off a month. Service has been excellent. I see other secondary carriers with similar plans.

Another happy Cricket customer, 2.5 G, unlimited talk and Tex , $35. I had a phone, just needed their SIM card. My kids and sister have all switched from Verizon to Cricket they are also very happy with the service. Best part if you go over they do not charge you more they just slow down the service. You need more G this month no problem go to a higher plan, next month you over estimated, no problem go back to what you had. No contract, month to month, very easy to deal with they also have brick and mortar stores if you have a problem or need hand holding.



On another note I just realized I have been on TBN for 14 years this month, wow how time flies by .....

Wow. I've only been around for less then 2 years. Altho that's not counting the few months of stalking the website and having my mind blown by you guys.

Seems that you have a nice phone plan there too.

T-Mobile is great on those respects. However, their service coverage tends to be great in towns and cities, but drops off horribly as you near cornfields. Also, even though they have great coverage inside cities, as someone else mentioned, they don't penetrate inside buildings too well for some reason. Step outside and you get full bars. Step towards the inner-most portions of a large building and zippo.

Probably be me... about 80% of the hospital is a no bar zone... drives me crazy each day when a get in the car to go home and I have a bunch of missed calls and messages from the Hospital where I had been for the last 8 hours.

My message says if you are getting voice mail it is because my phone did not ring... people still say are you here on the voice mail several times each day.

T-Mobile switched the sim and it made no difference... not many of the Nokia dumbphones left I imagine.

I'm using a 1st gen iPhone5. One of my kids is using a 5C, and another is using a 3 year old Samsung Galaxy (not sure which rev), all on T-Mobile. We all have issues with signal inside buildings and out in the country. I told them to get over it, as when we were kids, we weren't allowed to use the phone at all, because "someone might call for an emergency!"

No one ever called about an emergency in 24 years!

Grandma would call us on Christmas from Florida. Mom would hand you the phone, you got to say "Hi grandma! Merry Christmas" and the phone was promptly ripped out of your hand and passed to the next sibling before you could hear if she heard you or not!

Now, one kid is sitting in the back of the car as we sail down the highway somewhere in North Carolina to Nag's Head for vacation talking to her cousin who's traveling in the back of her car somewhere in Ohio as they head home from a week on the beach in Ocean City. Neither one has a clue how much has changed in one generation. :confused3:

I'm using a LG G2 smartphone on TracFone.
Works out to about $7 / mo with their $20 90 day card.
Great if you are not a heavy phone user.

With Verizon I pay $55 per month for unlimited talk/text and 2 gig data on a smart phone.

This is $45+sales tax in FL for the prepaid plan. I think mine comes to $48.xx

I had them switch my contract Galaxy S5 to prepaid. Took a couple of months an many calls to get it straight but finally got through to them.

I personally use straight talk. Unlimited everything, with 5gb of data at 4G and the rest at slower speeds after that. Got tired of Alltel/Verizon jerking me around after their merger. 45.00/month. Period. No taxes, only .70/month 911 fee if I buy monthly minutes in the store. They charge tax if you renew on the phone. But you now have the option of monthly automatic payment. That's where these plans eat you up. Its all the extra fees and add ons. The also now have a WAlmart family plan which is cheaper. I am still using a Galaxy S3 which has been great and I don't see any reason to upgrade now, even though I have bought a new backup smart phone with a newer android system a while back and hasn't even been activated even though it is 4G rather than the S3's 3G. Never, ever had a complaint, even when I lost a minutes card bought at the store. All I needed was a store receipt. They used that and helped right away. I did have to wait about 15 minutes to get to a live person then. But after that, it was smooth sailing.

I did have a phone warranty once a long time ago, and it was no issue either.

$85 a month for 3 lines, unlimited talk and unlimited text, 9 Gigs of shared data at 3G (none at 4G) - carrier is Total Wireless. It uses verizon towers so if you live in an area with no verizon service, it won't work. Had it for over a year and really like it. No contracts, just pay one month at a time.
