The title is pretty self-explanatory
SERO on Sprint
$30 base for 500min Unlimited text & Data and Free minutes after 7pm-7am
+ $10 SERO+ for Unlimited GPS (not an issue for iPhone) and free Mobile to Mobile
+ $10 Smartphone data charge
+ $6.80 Tax and other B$
= $56.80 a month all said and done. LTE would be included if we had an LTE phone. But currently we do not on this phone.
The people I know that have TMo in Philly voice is horrible.

If you're worried about price, you're better off using pre-paid. If you look around, there's a post on mr looking at gsm mvno providers. They have their limitations and you usually have to bring a phone. For the price, however, it can't be beat.

In the USA over 60% of Americans belong to "family plans" plus discounts.
Like my plan including taxes with ATT is $175 a month for 4 phones. 3 lines with unlimited data. Unlimited texting. Any mobile calling and 700 minutes with rollover.
Those who have one line or even 2 lines get ripped off badly with the carriers in the USA.
But family plans often result in big savings especially when many get 15-25% company discounts with their bills.

Tmobile just enabled 1900mhz 3G+ in my area 4 days ago so I'm starting to think.
How much I could save with sim only no contract plans with them with unlimited 3G.
Do I want to leave AT&T and LTE though?
$59 unlimited everything including taxes...

T-Mobile only has sims (microsims and the anticipated nanosim will probably come out in the near future), which are for month-to-month...they don't offer the iPhone 5 and thus, don't have a contract for it.

True...but even though it saves you more money in the long run, I find it incredibly difficult to spend $650 at one time on a phone.
Yep with AT&T I pay $185 for 4 lines with unlimited data, unlimited text, mobile to any mobile, 700 mins rollover.
With no contract types/prepaid it's not cost effective for a family plan. For a single line definitely.

They have microsims that you can cut to nano sim size with either a cutter or manually.
And they should have nanosims in most stores soon.
They dont offer the iphone 5 or any iphone on contract but if you have one unlocked you can save some money with them.

True. And yes, unlocked certainly saves money in the long run, but $650 (mininmum) is a lot to pay at one time. However, it's the wiser choice.

True.
If you can afford it just like with everything else. You pay more at first but you keep saving in the long run and make out more on your initial investment.

as an fyi, most college students can get a discount on their phone bill through their school. probably just for larger carriers like AT&T Sprint Verizon.
Probably won't be much, just 10% or so, but thought i'd mention it.

No this is on contract.
I'm an employee, and with my 5 lines on my account I pay a total of 155ish before taxes.
All of us have data plans, but vary in size: mines 10gb, gf is 2gb, sister and dad is 500mb and mom is 100mb. But even then with all my features and components in my plan, I'm quite happy with the overall price.
