We pay $91 (including all taxes and nonsensical fees that seem to vary monthly), and that includes two phone lines, unlimited mobile to mobile (between any verizon customer), and no roaming throughout the US, and 800 regular minutes, oh yea and "free" nights and weekends. Although I couldn't really tell you when the night minutes begin

$26.95 ($35 - 23% Discount that my employer gets with Sprint) for 300 minutes nationwide. Got it mainly for emergencies and ordering takeout from restaurants (so its ready when we get there). Last month, only used 27 minutes. We also use it to call websailor's parents back east since long distance is free. Websailor's is free with Verizon since his employer pays for it (we don't even see the bill).

We pay $96 a month for two phones. I have NO idea how many minutes we have on our plan, but we can call anywhere in the country and dh and I can call each other for free. We don't have a land line, just use cell phones.

$80-$90 a month for 2 phones via Verizon Wireless...I have no idea what we have in terms of minutes; we only use to call eahcother and do the take-out thing too! I actually think it's time to change phones/plans, but everytime I drive by the Verisozn store, the wait is 1-2 HOURS....

I don't really use mine for much talking during the day, primarily used at night time to talk to my bf or other friends on opposite coasts...therefore, i use like double the amount of night time & weekend "free minutes" and pay for a very small plan. I'm so lazy with my cell phone that I've kept my Washington DC number even though I've been living back in Chicago for well over a year. So it is Spring, 350 day time, free nights & weekends, don't remember if my nights start at 7 or 8 though. Base = $35 + tax & junk comes to around $44/month. DF, I was thinking your plan sounded high but then realized you have 4 phones off of it.

I pay 100 a month for 2 phones with unlimited nights starting at 7, unlimited internet stuff, unlimited picturephone stuff, unlimited roaming, unlimited text messages, and 800 day minutes. My company reimburses me for half since only one phone is mine. Ryan uses MAYbe 3 minutes total a month so really Im overpaying. hah

About $90 per month for two phones. 3,000 minutes... Text messaging... T-mobile! I love their service. Whenever I call, they are always so helpful. (I am a former AT&T customer... I hated them!)

we have sprint..i forget what greg's package is, but mine is 700 anytime minutes for $40 and something like 1000 night and weekend minutes. it's a pretty sweet deal and i love it, it's perfect for the amount of time i spend on the phone.

We have that plan, cept my fiancee gets the Fed Employee discount so it comes out to something like $32/mo each. After taxes, right under $40. Family plan would work better for us since she uses more than me, but the employee discount doesn't apply to additional phones on a line. So, she had to get two separate lines. Ahh well, still good. I wanna know what company gets 30% discount.

Verizon wireless 800 anytime minutes unlimted nights and weekends and of course unlimited anytime to anyone with verzion, even verizion houselines. Verizon has a place on their web page where you can send them for free wihtout signing in or anything. I have had Sprint and Cingluar both of which had lousy service in NJ and I could be with in about five miles of my parents hhouse with out them cutting out. I choose verizon based on the fact that I could use it both in NJ and AL. It has great service now and I love that I can talk anywhere in the country no roaming charges.

I have Sprint and I use the "Fair and Flexible" plan. It only charges you for the plan your minutes fall into. So, if one month you use very little minutes, let's say 300- the bill is only $35, and if you use more, say 700 min.- the bill is about $55. I have free nights, starting at 7pm, free weekends and free Sprint to Sprint. It's pretty sweet. I talked a ridiculous amount this month and it was only $70.

$140 for two phones and we haven't had a home phone in years - internet through the cable Landlines can be pretty expensive so I think $140 is a deal Nextel direct connect to anyone with a Nextel (which is half my friends in Chicago and a few relatives) free incoming calls - as long as I'm not the one who hit SEND it's free free nights and weekends I have about 500 minutes and bf has 1200 but he is definitely more talkative

I hardly ever use my cell phone. I switched to a pay as you go plan from Virgin Mobile. I'm only obligated to pay $20 every three months to keep the phone active. I always have at least 10 bucks left at the end of the 3 months It's .25 cents a minute for the first 10 minutes a day and then .10 a minute after that. So a years worth of service only costs me $80. My DH's employer provides him with a cell phone for his use for free.

I pay around $40 which includes a 15% disc from my employer. I get 400 minutes, and 350 bonus minutes and free nights/weekends so I like this plan. The only thing is that I'm on a digital plan which will eventually get phased out to the GSM and I will have to convert to a real cingular plan (was AT&T) which has less minutes but I will get the cool phones that flip and I will get rollover minutes each month.
