1,100 anytime minutes, free incoming calls, $40 from US Cellular. No frills, but a great offer that no other company can touch. US Cellular doesn't even offer this plan anymore. Got it when they first came to town. Plus a RAZR for a penny when we renewed our contract. I'm sure that will all go out the window when I get an iPhone, but that's at least a year in the future, !@#%$!$% 2-year contract!

I'm getting totally reamed with Bell Canada. I bought the phone when I was doing a lot of long distance calls, and they have great long distance rate plans. Now that I'm just calling local, the prices are absurd.
$80/mo. for unlimited text, data, and 150 minutes. I'm thinking of scaling back again, since I really only use it as a texting device since I hate talking on the phone. I feel so obnoxious walking down the street with my phone glued to my ear.

How are you paying roughly $50 per month? That's preposterous, and no, Fido's plans aren't bad. In fact, I'd say they're good. I can get what I want for around $30 or 35 CAD per month (plus.....$6 tax, isn't it?).
I don't text that much, I'm an adult
I've got 300 minutes and 300 texts for £10 a month on Virgin for my daughter.
Vodafone UK - £20 P/M - 150 or 175 mins (can't remember exactly) any time/any network - 1000 txts.
I think the big difference in US vs UK calling plans is that in the US you have to pay to receive a call right? Where as here we don't, so the 150 mins I get is 150 mins outbound calls, all incoming are free to me. In the US incoming calls use up your free minutes though don't they (which is why you get so many as part of your bundles)?

But you felt the need to comment?
Me I pay £40/month with O2. I can't remember what that gets though
I'm on pay as you go with Virgin I'm not sure exactly how much I spend each month on calls and texts but it's no more than £2-£3.
I obviously don't talk enough.

interesting how many have those high profile plans in the US while most around here prefer small monthly payments (5) but rather pay for minutes (5 cents + 1000 text free)
personally i have a prepaid plan and load up 1-2 times a year for 20
but i've seen that there are some flatrate plans available now where you pay 25 and you have 0cents in all networks and 1000 text msgs but they aren't that popular

I love my plan; I have a Moto Q with Sprint, unlimited data, unlimited texts, unlimited nights & weekends starting at 7, and a VERY plentiful 500 min. all for only $24.97
Great to have friends in the business.

Same here. 200 anytime minutes, $20/month. With taxes and additional fees, it's $40/month. Ridiculous.
