Clippers of Nfl Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I have an old grandfathered account w tmobile. i pay 125 3 lines unlimited calls unlimited text 5g data one line 2.5 or 3g one line wifi for the kid 10 bucks more for the kid to have internet 2.5 or 3 gigs 3 lines, 2GB/each of data, unlimited everything else - just over 2 bills, as well. Also VZW. 2 bills, too much. call tmobile. never had a problem with them. 4 cell phone lines with unlimited texting and unlimited minutes 2.5 gb data per line 1 home phone (VOIP) with unlimited minutes Unlimited calling to 70+ countries $139 with 12% corporate discount. T-Mobile So far you win. Wow this is a steal.
Fan in Chicago Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Two lines my wife has a cheapo phone so no data Mine unlimited data (grandfathered in) unlimited texts. Not sure what else I've got $154/mo. A high monthly fee for one. A few options in this thread should save you a boatload of money. Unless you really use the unlimited data. I have rarely needed more than 2 GB as most times i am connected to wifi. So far you win. Wow this is a steal. I don't think I am that special (to TMobile anyway). If people stay on top of the specials, there is a very good chance to cut their bills by quite a bit. The only downside I have seen to Tmobile is rather poor data coverage away from the towns. But I am in those locations for such a small percent of time, that I can live with said poor coverage esp for the moolah I save.

Yes, even verizon. Some are known to be better and some are known to be worse (metro piece of crap) My mom had metro at one point. 1 page would load every 2 minutes. Eff Metropcs.
Rob's House Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 2 phones, 6 Gb shared, unlimited talk & text - $140. AT&T
mead107 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 2 phones unlimited text 6 gb 170 with all the taxes. Por..... Never mind Verizon New price at BJ 's 132 plus taxes. Getting new phones next week
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 It doesn't, you're just closer to the Canadian towers, so your phone picks up the strongest signal. Turn data roaming off, and that should keep you better tethered to the US carriers. Plus the further away from the Falls & the river the weaker the US signal gets. Wow... Thanx! It was asking me... In Clipper's hospitality: "Welcome to Canada... Yada yada yada... Do want to accept data roaming for this trip... Yada yada yada..." I was like yes, thinking whaat the bill was going to be when I shot off some pics, etc... LoL... I was wondering how it calculated that i was in Canada just a 1,000 feet or so from the US... I usually have GPS turned off. 2 phones unlimited text 6 gb 170 with all the taxes. Por..... Never mind Verizon New price at BJ 's 132 plus taxes. Getting new phones next week Verizon is giving BJ's... Where do I sign up! Do we get asked: "Would ya?" first?
....lybob Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I doubt they even have this anymore but I use to buy 1000 min for a year with T-mobile for $100 dollars I usually had left over minutes at the end of the year

I don't always connect to.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I am not sure who is gobbling up the data. One went to 15 GB and it seems like I approach it faster than with 10. Can that be true. Must be one of the children hogging and not connecting to WiFi? For some reason the Family Share Plan does not break it down anymore.

Too much trouble to police the family members. Much better with individual allocation - once you are done, T-mobile throttles it back to pre-historic age speeds. If someone hits that mark, they are a lot more careful in the future. And really, with ubiquitous wifi, a regular user should not need more than 2.5 -3 gb per month from a cell provider
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Republic Wireless Moto X smartphone - - engineered to switch calls seamlessly between WiFi when available to Sprint cell towers when WiFi is not available $11.82/month all in including all taxes unlimited talk and and unlimited text unlimited data, but on my nominal $10/month plan, data is only accessible via Wi-Fi (Data via cell towers is available with a more expensive monthly plan - - no charge to switch plans up to twice per month - - I'm fine with data by only WiFi so I never switch monthly plans) no roaming charges customer service only available online (can never talk to a customer service rep), but haven't ever needed it WiFi is available in more and more places these days - - if you can live with data access that's WiFi only then you can't beat this plan for the price! Some fairly recently announced future changes on the way (including access to an as yet unspecified non-Sprint network): http://www.cnet.com/news/republic-wireless-to-credit-customers-for-unused-data/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_Wireless Edited June 4, 2015 by ICanSleepWhenI'mDead
KD in CA Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 2 lines, 3G for $130. Doesn't seem like a great deal but I wonder how much location impacts pricing. I miss having work pay for all this.

Hopefully there'll be a better system by the time I get there.

Try something called 4g or 4glte. You'll never look back.
BuffOrange Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 $30. 5GB's/Unlimited Text/100minutes T-Mobile ftw.
The Poojer Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 verizon, 4 lines, unlimited calls/texts, 10 gb data, about 210/month
KD in CA Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Ha ha. You're still on a 3g phone. Move up in the world Kd. Try something called 4g or 4glte. You'll never look back. You dumbass....it's a brand new phone. I meant 3 GB data plan.
Clippers of Nfl Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 You dumbass....it's a brand new phone. I meant 3 GB data plan. I know. I was only messing around.
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Hopefully there'll be a better system by the time I get there. Yeah, there will be a better system in place! It is called: "Daddy pays until they are 47 years old plan." It's the best one yet! ;-) And don't think this is such a "new" idea. I know Baby Boomers that have mommy and daddy covering their cell bill! Not just an Millenial/Echo Boomer thing. ;-)

Not just an Millenial/Echo Boomer thing. ;-) I wanna be that kind of parent. Kid needs help. Ask dad. I just dont want it to become a burden or handicap. Specially if the son in law goes crazy, buys everything, and then utter "have your stupid dad pay it" Im going to have to set limits. Wait my oldest kid is 12. What the hell am I thinking. Im already marrying her...
