What cell phone plan do you have?

[wdfifteen]

And how much do you pay?

We have a Verizon business account. My 6 year old iPhone 5s is dying (after only 6 years!) and I have to get a new phone. Verizon won’t let me keep my $20/month plan (which actually costs $35)if I switch phones, they insist on “upgrading” me to a $40/plan (which will actually cost $55).
I’m looking at Consumer Cellular for $19/month. It has all the features I actually use. Anybody else use CC? Anybody else have another low cost plan they like?

AT&T. About $75 per phone. Unlimited everything.

ATT $129 mon. data capped, no overage, roll overs, but slows to 128kbps when cap met. Iphone 6, 6s, and Galaxy note 8. Own all phones outright.

Our 19 yr old used to use a lot of data, but now that he can't link his phone to the car stereo (new to him), our data usage has dropped and we rarely hit the cap.

Straight Talk 35.00/month. Can't tell the difference between that and Verizon which I paid 75/month for

ATT. I have 3 phones, one is a wireless land line I use for my business. The other two are I phones for my wife and I. More data than we can use.
Runs me around $150/month. Coverage in our area is the best of the major providers. I have had a few spots in Colorado wilderness areas where I lost signal, but for the most part I have internet anywhere i go.

Ting. They resell Sprint and T-Mobile bandwidth. They don't care if you BYOD and don't "subsidize" new phones with high rates.

I pay about $48 a month for two phones, but your bill is based on how many minutes, text messages, and how much data you use. Back when we had Verizon, you couldn't distinguish our usage stats from the bottom line on the graph.

T-mobile family plan. Costs $190/mo for 7 lines (1 dedicated data), 6GB data, unused data rollover, unlimited calls, unlimited texts. International for Canada and Mexico no additional charge.

I have a Oneplus 6 and wife has a galaxy phone, rest of the family has various devices we all own outright. Any line added gets our plan for $25/mo to no limit.

Based on some of these responses our $143 bill for 2 phones and an iPad isn't so bad. MrsWD "needs" her fancy plan and her iPad. I just need to make 30 - 40 texts and 30 minutes of talk a month. We make our international calls on her phone anyway because mine's such a piece of crap.

We have a T-mobil senior plan. Worked out better than Verizon when my wife wanted to upgrade to an iPhone. We both have iPhone 7's now. They were pricey but get the job done of satisfying the wife so priceless to me. Not sure what it costs, she pays the bills. I've slowly been learning how to use the phone as more than a phone.

We have 4 phones on a US Cellular plan with unlimited everything for less than you pay. We use little data, but it was cheaper to go unlimited everything than our previous plan with 2GB data.

Trac phone flip phone. Only on when we're out and about. Wouldn't have bothered with it except no pay phones these days. $100 worth of minutes lasts more than the year. I call it our $8.33 per month plan.

One of the benefits of the retired life...we have absolutely zero need for a smart phone. I feel sorry for those addicted to carrying a little screen around...

T Mobile, $40.00 per line all in.

4 lines, 10GB per line.

All iPhones

I have 4 phones (including mom's 5s) on CC...85-95/month. Their phones are on AT&T towers, but I switched my to their other option...T-Mobile to resolve an issue I had. Totally flexible and not out to $crew ya...been using CC for years.

Jitterbug/GreatCall dumb phone.
About $42/mo for 600min. plus 10cent per text. Too much.
My phone hastily bought from a drug store is probably hardware random and doesn't ring. Missed calls don't show up. Or voicemail pops up a week later.
(Yeah I know.)
I'm lazy but looking at other long-term options.

Otherwise:
Sprint basically forcefully screwed over raped my elderly parents (both attorneys) who signed up with a family shared plan.
$80-->$300 mo w/collections.
Paperwork did not match. Big time fraud. Fk them.

Verizon switched plans after a while and overcharged the ex-gf and I for a cellular hot-spot internet plan.
Same bureaucracy nonsense. It was ok before.
Next.

AT&T I had previously for internet at a fair rate.
I don't currently use them.
Despite them becoming a monopoly for a while, I have zero complaints about any of their customer service. It was always concise and competitive.

It is hard to find a reliable flip phone for Trac these days with the service changing next month.
