Just curious about the mobile cell plans you guys have around here and your monthly cost ( after any applicable taxes )

Telus Mobility
300 anything minutes
5pm early nights and weekends
unlimited text, picture, video
10 voicemail slots
conference calling
call waiting
call display

$43 cdn ( includes system access, 911 and taxes )

This is of course with a shit phone, will be upgrading to an iphone4 soon, extra $30/mo. for 1gb data ( seems like a raping to me )

I have 500mb as well, I've never gone over. I download the odd application here and there. However, I also disable image downloads in the browser (unless I need/want to see it specifically) since most images on pages are just ads or useless shit.

iPhone 4
AT&T
450 minutes anytime, 5000 nights, rollover
1500 texts
200 mb data
$69.99

If I could pay less for an even smaller voice package I would :( I had the unlimited data plan but I was only using 150mb or less per month so why not save $15 per month? I use my phone A LOT for online stuff but I'm on wifi a good bit of that.

US Cellular
Samsung Stride R330
Prepaid voice & text

I usually put about $20/mo. down on the thing, though I may end up switching to an actual plan if I keep using the phone as much as I did last month and this month so far...

500MB/month is more than enough.

I do a lot of web surfing, Youtubing, and online banking; plus I use Google Maps quite often. I've been using this phone for two months and haven't hit 70MB yet.

well you only went over once, and not by much ?, during a 6 month period... Im with o2 in the UK and i dont think ive ever had a grilling for exceeding my allowance :shrug:

unless they start charging your ass for every MB over?.... Just sounds like youll be paying twice the amount when you may only go over the limit twice a year ? (working on UK packages, think we only offer 500mb and 1gb ?)

is this alot?

I use GIGS monthly on 2 lines. (Work phone/personal) But im also using pandora in my car, work, etc. 500 megs is nothing.

Our Verizon account is 5 lines, 1 DX 4 Eris, 2100 min text/data

After tax its about 300 or so.

Our iPhones cost us a giant 60 a month, unlimited data/text + 1000 min on 1 line 500 on the other. the 700 min plan we'd need would cost us 160 if it wasnt employee priced.

SO i guess 360 per month

Yeah, I don't use Pandora, but I can see how it'd be easy to rack up a lot of data...

Yarp. Thats also like 7 lines btw. All of which are PDAs with unlimited data plans. I should of mentioned, we have 2 att phones as well. Its only a small portion because its employee lines, but still its a few bucks at least.
