I know I'm probably paying the standard but...........

I have 2 iphones on my line and I get something like 15% off for being employed with my company and my total bill comes out to almost 190.

I have unlimited text and I'm not sure how many minutes but with rollovers and such from AT&T I've never come close to going over on my minutes.

The data is annoying and I feel like im usually connected to WiFi most the time...we get 2GB per line and the past couple months I've been having to pay an extra $10 to get an extra GB because I've been going over. The annoying part is I've been going over with like 5-7 days left in my bill cycle. I wish unlimited data was an option at AT&T. I'm seriously considering switching carriers for unlimited everything for way cheaper.

Does anyone know how the Friends and Family thing works at AT&T. The commercial said something about $160 for 4 lines with 10GB of data to share. Anyone on this plan or have any pros and cons about it?

The $160/4 lines doesn't include the cost of the phone. On the $190 you're currently paying, figure that $37.50 of that goes towards phone subsidy so you're actually paying $152.50 for the plan.

If you go the Mobile Share Value Plan route, your cost for a 2-phone 10GB plan is as follows:

$100 unlimited talk, unlimited text, 10GB data
$15 line 1
$15 line 2
--------------------
TOTAL $130 (+tax)

That does not include any device cost. Still, $130 vs $152.50, I'd say you come out ahead with Mobile Share especially if you consider you've got way more useable bandwidth.

Our family's actually on that plan (10GB, 4 lines, $160) and so far, we've never gone over even considering I always have my laptop tethered during working hours. Heck, at the end of the month we'd usually still have 4-5GB still available so I'd stream Netflix to use it up 1-2 days before the new billing cycle starts (wish there was rollover data).

I would switch to Aio wireless. Unlimited talk/text/data (2.5gb fast speeds) for $45 each per line. If you can get a family plan with 3 other people, it's $32 per line. It's ATT coverage as well

51$ a month on a 2 year contract with Fido(rogers)
Unlimited calling

International text
Free tethering
2GB LTE data

I got a nexus 5 for zero $ with the above plan


Edit
I might have got an iPhone but the plan would have been about 54$ a month more and would have had to put 200$ down. $1690 tax in over 2 years made the nexus 5 a no brainer. In Canada you get penalized if you want an iPhone or other premium phones

My average bill for 2 connection comes about $12/month.

1st connection-
100 free text (hardly use 10 a month)
Approx. 350 minutes free calling
1.2GB 3g data

2nd connection (used by my better half) is used exclusively for calling and for data i have a wifi connection.

I thought i was paying a lot but then i saw this thread :p

EDIT-
Forgot to add i am from India as you can make out by my username ;)

I pay £36 per month and I get

- unlimited minutes
- unlimited texts
- unlimited data
- unlimited tethering

I actually don't use the tethering much at all, and could probably do without it so I will most likely remove that at the end of my contract and stick with just unltd data.
