Wireless cell phone carrier

[Rob454]

Ok so whats the best plan. Im paying 100$ a month right now for basic phone for me and my wife family plan ATT. just got done with my two year service.
I called and they said I dont have to sign another two years unless I want free phones. My wife wants to text. So basically Im looking for a phone and text pic stuff maybe data plan ( data plan for my phone) but phone text for sure for two phones for 100$ or less.
Any of you guys a ATT or verizone/cell phone guy?

I see that Metro PCS has an unlimited $40 a month for there local, long distance, and text service.
I'm also a AT&T customer and I pay over $100 a month for basic service with text for my son and I. The only thing that keeps me from making the jump is I still have 5 months to go on the 2 year deal. I'm going to look into buying out of the agreement and weighing the savings of the new plan. Is anyone using the Metro now and how's it working out? -g

The MetroPCS plan sounds almost too good to be true, any other MetroPCS users care to chime in? How is the coverage in socal?

Watch T-mobile for some huge price drops.

I'm currently using a mix of T-mobile and Skype. Saved me quite a few $$

you serious? Well I guess lisening to a ATT or a Verizon rep about how bad metro is probably is not the best place to get my info LOL
but I had a few people ( not salesmen) say Metro PCS has bad service. I may look into it.

I pay $110/month for 3 phones, 700 shared minutes, and unlimited text/picture/video messaging (to anybody.) Most of the people I call are on Verizon, which is why my minutes are so little, and we hardly ever use half of that.

Their call quality/coverage beat ATT in the real world. Verizon is getting the iphone in the summer, if you want that.

Just watch out though, some new phones have a plan where you need a data/internet package.

I have a verizon "razzle" (idk where they come up with these names) and it has a keyboard that twists out, and is a music phone. Battery lasts 4-5 days without a charge. The other phone I had, was the Dare, and I loved that thing, full touch screen, GREAT camera, and battery lasted about a week.

Customer service is great with them too! You can email them and they'll adjust your account if possible, without you having to call them.

Which plan

Which plan do you have for 3 lines for $110? We have 4 lines , and it's $200

Yeah, love the Dare. Too bad Verizon has it hobbled, so it isn't the iPhone killer it could have been

OK, I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

I don't know, it was a shared plan, and it was a cheap as I could get it. I have a 20% discount through my work also, so it'd be like 132 if I didn't have the discount.

Can you advise more on that? Anything to look at online about this coming?

[Rob454]

Well i stuck it out with ATT. I got my plan adjusted cause i never went over 450 minutes. i barely used 200 anytime minutes. so I dropped that to 450 minutes with roll over, got a i phone and data plan for 20 $ more and then got my wife text for 5$ total of 75$ a month. Im gonna work on the house phone also

See the post after me . . .

I noticed that AT&T and Verizon have both dropped prices on unlimited-talk contracts this morning.

I've read a couple of articles online that a price drop is coming soon. T-mobile is the last cell company to drop prices.

call them up and tell them you want to cancel 1 of the 2 lines.
they'd ask you why. Say they're too expensive. They'd try to keep
you and offer you cheaper unlisted plans.

If that doesn't work, switch.
