I honestly use less than 10 talk minutes a month.

Only texting and data. Is there a way to stop paying $40 for something I dont use

AT&T btw
 
If you're out of contract there are any number of mvno's that would be cheaper.
 
No. You will have to think of it as paying $70 for AT&T's LTE, which is super fast and reliable in certain regions.

Yes, it's called the $30/mo T-Mobile plan. 100 mins, unl text and 5GB LTE. Of course your phone must be unlocked and T-Mo must work in your area..
 
Nope. U better keep the 450 cuz now they are forcing to get unlimited voice with their new plans.

If you have it already you wont loose it. Plus rumor is just like verizon they are keeping the individual plans just not advertising them.

You can use AT&T's LTE network on straight talk now for $45 a month.

Or become a senior citizen and get 200 minutes for $29.99 month from AT&T or Verizon. :D

Yes, but you'd have to aready be a customer--which you seem to be?

You need to call ATT up and ask to speak to a customer retention specialist. By being very polite and continually insisting, you can find that they have an unpublished 350 minute plan.

That's what I did, so I know it works.
 
I called Verizon today, and they gave me the Loyalty Plan, so you could call them as Idefix mentioned to find out if they have such a plan for you. Wanted to go with AT&T, but their plan was a tad more, but they gave 3 GB of data, no text, which would have been a lot more for adding text than below.


Loyalty Plan > 450 minutes > unlimited text > 2 GB data=$60.00 per month iphone 5s. Tax and Fee's > $75.00 per month total
