What plan is your iPhone on?

Im in the US so I pay an arm and a leg and my phone is forever locked to AT&T even after my contract expires:D
Oh, I also pay to receive calls and texts messages from others. I know its not a familiar thing to users outside the US.
 
Yeah North America sucks for wireless plans.

But for my 4 Line Family Plan I have:

350 weekday minutes to share
Unlimited Nights and Weekends
Call Display and Voicemail
Unlimited Messaging

and then for each line I have:
iPhone 4S - 6GB Data
iPhone 3G - 500 MB Data
Samsung Galaxy SII - 100MB Data, unlimited US/International texts
Blackberry Torch 9810 - 500MB Data

and I pay 140ish after taxes.
 
I'm on a Sprint family plan, with 3 lines (2 are mine), unlimited everything, except landline minutes, which are at 1500 a month and we don't use.
 
iPhone 4s, single line, Verizon Wireless, unlimited minutes and 2gb data plan. I pay $120 a month. I need the 5gb data plan but don't want my bill to increase to $150 a month.

May I ask how you pay for incoming calls and messages? Like, how exactly does it work in conjunction with plans etc? Thanks you :eek:

Lets say you have 500 minutes per month and 200 texts.
When someone calls you they deduct the 5 minute phone call from your account and the callers account also. So kinda like double billing.
And if someone sends you a text even though you have no way of not accepting/rejecting the message you get charged for it. Also the sender does.
Does it make sense?:D
Its like sending a letter and you pay for the stamp/postage and the receive has to pay again for it too wether he likes it or not.
 
I have 150 local minutes, unlimited incoming calls, unlimited international texting, plus 100MB of data for about $50 a month

Oh god... That's horrible :(
 
Family plan 2100 minutes, unlimited texts, and UNLIMITED THROTTLING....

My data plan plan by the 17th of every month is slower than anything. This ATT plan of trying to secretly force people to go on their capped plans.

Like a clown on a unicycle in the middle of a blizzard....its a slippery slope ATT...customers don't appreciate being pigeon holed when we have been paying and loyal customers for 5+ years.
 
Hi,


I am on the Uk network 02.

Pay as you go Simplicity.

For £25.50 sterling I receive ;

300 cross network minutes.
50 mms.
Unlimited Texts.
Unlimited Wifi.
1gb data use.

I originally paid £504.00 for the iPhone 4 as I prefer not to be locked into a two year contract.

Ridiculous to be charged for incoming calls and texts !

Ref being locked to AT&T can you not jb the iPhone ?
 
Im on a Family Plan with At&t

700 land line
Unlimited mobile to mobile
Unlimited texts
5gb with tethering

How do some people get by with 100mb plans?! I would rip thru that in less than a day while I'm at work lol
 
Just renewed with O2, I didn't want to, but my only other real option was three who had great prices but poor coverage.

It's a one year iPhone contract.....£15 per month, with average allowances. I can add bolt ons as I wish if required....it was the best I could find.

A bit vague with average allowances !

Did you choose the iPhone 4s ?

C'mon be more forthcoming.....lol.
 
Fido:

150 mins (per-second billing)
unlimited texting
unlimited calling after 5pm and on weekends
caller id and voicemail
6Gb Data (with tethering)

$70/month
 
plan

Verizon family plan:

1400 anytime minutes
10 friends & family (pick any 10 numbers and get unlimited calling)
free nights
free weekends
unlimited texting (both lines; sms/mms/pms...whoops that last isn't right...)
unlimited data (both lines)
12% company discount

about $126
after taxes: $148

so $63 per line before taxes for all that.

side note: do other people in the US have tax rates that high? that is $22 of tax on a $126 bill which rounds to 17.5% tax rate. I'm in the Chicago area (which i know is higher tax).

Anyone else know the tax rate they are paying on their cell phone bill?

i just found another thread and illinois is 4th highest state in terms of cell phone tax with an average of about 20-21%. Nevada was only 6%....bah!

Family Plan:
4 iPhone 4's - unlimited data - $30/phone
1400 minutes with Verizon
Unlimited text, pix, flix (video messages for verizon - which no one uses anymore)
1 4G LTE USB modem with 2GB (I think, I forgot as I never exceed my cap) data
Total: $278/month (after 20% discount)

Oh, and many of the extra perks mentioned in the post above me.
 
I don't have a plan I guess. I bought my 3GS factory unlocked, and I have a 7 euro contract for 100 min/texts that I can increase or decrease (or cancel) per month. It's pretty flexible. I pay 5 cents a megabyte. They also offer 500MB for 10 euro's, but that's much more than I use.

Not in any way :eek:

That's not kinda like double billing, that IS double billing. How the hell do they get away with that? I had no idea it works that way in the US.
