That’s what I’m paying for a single line att grandfathered also.
I use 15-20 gigs a month. What other plans are compatible that I can put my phones payment plan on? I don’t see much really.
I wouldn’t mind getting cricket but I don’t know how that works with getting the new phone in a week. Upgrade on att then what?

$50 (I pay $48.50)

Verizon Prepaid 7 GB + 2 GB Bonus w/ Carryover

I always start the month with 15 or 16 GB. Bonus/carryover data is used first, hence why I always start out strong with data.

$90 for a phone bill is ridiculous, to me anyways. If you don't need to finance a new phone, there are better options out there, especially with prepaid. If you like AT&T, check out their two prepaid brands.

You have good plan, true $90 is ridiculous. Pre-paid is a very good option if device is paid off and if someone wants low bill.

You sir is a champ, you have completely squeezed T-Mobile. They will give you $1000 to get off their network.

In India, these are the plans available:

Approx USD per month

USD 6.5 - Unlimited local calling and SMS. 10 GB 4G data.

USD 8 - Same as above but 20GB 4G data.

USD 10 - Unlimited local, national calling and roaming and SMS. 30 GB 4G data.

USD 12 - Same as above but 40GB data.

USD 15 - Same as above but 50 GB data.

Also, you can add up to 4 child lines with each line, for an additional USD 4.5 per line per month.

Once you exhaust your data, each GB is USD 7.5 extra.

USD 17.5 - Same as above with one free child line. And 75 GB instead.

USD 22 - Same as above but two free child lines. And 100 GB instead.

USD 27 - Same as above but three free child lines. And 125 GB instead.
 
I feel like I'm an absurdity.

I pay about $200 a month with T-Mobile. However, I'm staying on this old plan because of a weird loophole. I'm financing an iPhone 7 Plus and an LG V30 at the same time on one line. I can have multiple phones with EIP. Plus I'm paying for an iPad Pro 9.7 without paying for any data on the line, I get 2 GB free. Then I'm also paying off an Apple watch. Apparently I can fiancee about 3k before hitting my limit according to the sales rep at T-Mobile and what it said on my account. Crazy stuff!

It's going to go up a few bucks as I traded in my 6s that was $27 a month for the V30 which is $30.

HI EVERYONE:

I am using 20-25 GB a month on this plan. I understand some are paying less for 5-10gb plans. My question is: Is there any other plan cheaper on ATT/Verizon (not interested in tmobile or sprint) that is cheaper for those who use 20-25gb a month? Thanks.
[doublepost=1508770077][/doublepost]BTW, if this is high, what is the best tactic to get a lower rate with ATT? Do I have to switch plans or should I threaten to switch so they transfer me to retention department. I've been a customer for 9 years straight and in 2000-2003.
 
We switched to Cricket this spring after having AT&T for the last 10 years. Cricket is owned by AT&T and uses AT&T towers. Haven't really noticed any difference in service. Really wish I had done it sooner. They have an unlimited plan for $55 (after $5 auto-pay discount) and you can get that down to $40 a month if you join a group with 4 other people. All taxes and fees are included in that price.

If you don't have enough lines to create a group of 5 you can find people on Reddit, just search for Cricket Groups. The people on our group plan pay $40 a month for unlimited or $20 a month for 4GB.

I’m on the 5GB single line plan on VZW... $52 a month with employee discount. Unlimited would cost $75 after auto-pay discount.. it’s tempting now seeing how much AT&T charges

You’re an employee with Verizon? Then you should know that the $75 dollars with Auto Pay is only for the Go Unlimited Plan. Yeah, its unlimited Data, but no hotspot and you can’t get add a Jetpack to the plan. Also, you are deprioritized from the moment your plan starts. It’s not worth it. I always push customers to the Beyond Unlimited Plan. It’s only $10 more a month and you get so much more.

No, I am getting an employee discount through my employer. I don’t work for Verizon.
 
50 bucks a moth with Cricket. Everyting is unlimited and it using AT&T towers. I don't notice any difference. I get a great signal .
 
Do Cricket customers get WiFi calling? How about Hotspot?

What network(s) does Mint use?

Hi,

My 2-year contract with ATT for iphone 6s+ is ending. I only stayed with ATT because of the unlimited plan I've had since 2009 or so. is $90/month with discount a decent plan, and if not what are comparable rates? it was worth it to me as i was using 20-30gb a month.

Now that most carriers are offering "unlimited" I am thinking of upgrading to Iphone X, i would like to consider the options and swap carrier with same #. I am in the NYC area and have a verizon iphone 6 work phone.

iirc i paid several hundred $$$ for iphone 6s+ and the fees i paid over te 2 year contract paid off the rest.

now that phone is paid off, what is the best option to proceed if i pay outright for iphone x? does the rate i paid go down if i buy the phone outright?

thanks.

On Sprint $60 /month includes unlimited Data, Talk and Text, 10GB Hot Spot, Hulu (w/comercials), Tidal music (free for 6 months), and the iPhone X for $20 /month (w/ Sprint Flex). No complaints, works just as good as at&t did for me.
