Could you guys also tell who your service is with? Some of these sound like pretty good deals.

I have Verizon service. 5 phones. $180 per month. No data.

LMFAO - we call ATT this morning to reduce our plan and 15 minutes later we have a bill $10 higher. HOW DID THEY DO THAT?

Basically what has happened is Ryan has gone back to school and is approaching the limit of his dataplan. I have 2GB and my wife 300MB, neither of us get close to that. But because of our son we ended getting a family data plan that effectively raised our bill by almost $10.

Unreal how that works. It's like [expletive] heroin.

What does that end up being with taxes and everything? I think I have the exact same plan, but somehow it ends up being $90 when it's all said and done.

Edit: Yeah, it's called the Everything Data 450 Plan, but for me it's 79.99 plus taxes. Is that $65 with an employee discount or something?

My wife and I use Ting, a Sprint pre-paid carrier. They meter their plans based on usage of a couple levers(minutes, texts, MB of data) so it's not the exact same bill every month, but we pay in the neighborhood of $60/month. We aren't huge users of data though(rarely exceeding 500 MB in a month), and needed to bring our own phones(from Ebay for ~$75 each).
