You Euro guys make me sick with your cheap rates :(
I've seen some posts that have said some of the super cheap rate plans are only super cheap if used in the home country. Travel outside of the country (which isn't hard to do in the EU), and some of those plans incur voice and data roaming fees (like how some of the regional US carriers used to do years ago).

This plan is a bit weird... this is the standard Verizon retailer employee plan.
The caveats are- NO discounted handsets. You must provide your own. & typically, as you are using "customer-provided equipment"; you cannot get insurance (so for most, it's $26/month instead). I took advantage of an "open-enrollment" amnesty offered about once per year by insurance companies, where they they allow insurance to be added to devices outside of the "14 days from purchase".

Just switched to 10 gb mobile shared value plan on att from previous 6gb mobile shared plan

3 iPhones
10gb shared
Unlimited talk and text
$92/mo with FAN

Lower than expected, thought it would be around $120 with FAN. Wonder if I had some sort of credit this month or something for switching.

Edit: Was $202 previously.

Wow how much is your FAN discount? Or can you check if there really is a credit? That's even lower than what I pay for 3 lines as well on the same plan.

Mine went up because of the edge program (in which VZW "forgot" to apply the discount).

I'm at 200 a month for 2 phones and 1 iPad with 6GB of data. I'm probably going to downgrade the quota to 4GB and I may pay off the phone, so I can bring my bill down back to normalcy

Looks like I was credited for switching last month and they applied it to this months bill. It will be $145 - $36 (~25% FAN discount) plus taxes and fees. So it will be around $118 or so.

$30 a month

T-Mobile prepaid plan

5GB of LTE then unlimited EDGE

I don't use many minutes and I use FaceTime audio or Vonage to call without using minutes. Works pretty good. I get LTE in my area and it's usually 14-19 mbps

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Though your FAN will probably be only $25 credit applied towards only the $100 (not the $15 x 3 phones) since my bill looks like that, so just keep an eye out towards your next bill.

Roaming fees are applicant to almost all plans, not just some. So that is a constraint. But it's not like Europeans are switching countries every week. By 2015 however, roaming fees should be gone.

UK user on 3...i'm on the One Plan for £15 a month which gives me :-

Unlimited Data
2000 Minutes
5000 Texts

However i get nowhere near using the minutes and texts as i dont call that many folk plus most folk have iPhones so my messages go on iMessage. They have also started doing it so certain countries roaming doesnt matter and you can use your phone without incurring extra charges with everything coming out of your allowance unless you seriously hammer the data connection.

Annoyingly they added the US to this list a week after i returned from Boston and my main destination of France isnt on the list.

How much is your monthly iPhone bill?

$156 includes all taxes.

AT&T

Two iPhone 5s and one flip phone

Unlimited calls

Unlimited text

10 GB shared data


How is this possible? I have ATT mobile share with two iPhone 5S that we own (not NEXT).

4GB mobile share: $70
iPhone: $40
iPhone: $40
Subtotal: $150 + tax

I have a FAN discount so I end up paying ~$148 monthly with tax. You have a 10GB plan with a dumb phone and pay $8 more?!

If you own the phones and not under contract can't you get $10 off for each line for that, or even $25 off for each line if you get a 10 GB data plan?

Any of those out of contract? If so you might be able to go with a current share plan and get a discount for those and perhaps have it a bit cheaper.
