I pay Verizon $46 / mo. I do not use data. Verizon apparently has some
sort of loaner program for travel up to 3 weeks in GPS countries.

Yes. Service for mobile phones are definitely too expensive. If one
does not use cell phone a lot, the best way is to use some prepaid
phone. And T-mobile may have the cheapest prepaid phone plan too. If
one has to subscribe a data plan, then some app allow you to make VoIP
calls directly, so one can use VoIP with a minimum voice plan (this is
what I do).
Also family plan saves a lot. Depending on one's employer, there is a
possibility to get certain discount (as much as 20%).

I've just been browsing TMobile, Verizon and ATT and am surprised how expensive
they are!
It appears TMobile is least expensive, and they go: $40 talk, $50 talk+text,
$60 talk+text+data. And you have to add on between $8-$10 for the additional
fees, taxes and fed fees. So we're talking roughly $50,$60,$70 a month
depending on talk, text, data! Wow!
(Note: I pay considerably less, being "grandfathered" by being with TMobile for
a decade or so. My plan is roughly $15 less than the current equivalent.)
That seems higher than most folks would be willing to pay, right??
So two questions:
- What do you pay per month for what service?
- How do you keep your monthly costs down?
Thanks!
