How much is your typical monthly cell phone bill?

[seriously1]

We have three cell phones and are about to add a fourth. We don't have a home phone and we have my mother in law on our bill. We are adding my daughter. Our bill is with Verizon for 190.00 a month and will go to 230 when we add our daughter. . Ugh this makes me sick. Sprint is advertising a 100- a month family plan. My husband claims by the time we replace our phones the difference will not be that much. I plan to go to the sprint store to investigate this. Why is this so expensive and such a difference in price?

2 phones, 112/month 10gb unlimited everything else within Verizon

[LoveTrains]

2 phones, unlimited data with 200 text messages each and 700 minutes shared. It's a grandfathered plan from like 2009....
$130/month.

[just]

$30 a month - unlimited everything on Virgin ($35 is the published price but I get a 5$ discount for a direct debit payment). No contract but it's officially pay-as-you-go so I had to buy the handset.

Straight Talk, unlimited talk and text and 5GB of data before the slow it down (we have 2 lined so 10GB total), iPhone 6+ and 95.00 a month.

[StJess80]

Sprint: 3 lines $140 ($100 for the first 2, and $40 for the 3rd), unlimited talk, text and data (no throttle at a certain data point). We lease 2 of the phones, so that adds another $40 to the bill, but I get 22% off for a corporate discount.

We have an iPhone 5S, 6, and 6+ (lease the two 6's).

T-mobile, 2 phones, 1gb talk on DH's 3gb on mine. $88. We paid for our phones outright, iPhone 6 and 5s.

[msmerymac]

1 phone (iPhone), 2gb data, unlimited talk and text, $53ish/month, including tax, from T-Mobile.

[mlt]

Two unlimited data and unlimited text plans are $150 with AT&T. I don't know how many minutes we have but we've never come close to hitting the limit.

[blondemoment123]

$170 for the 2 of us. Ridiculous but H refuses to switch.

[xokell2]

$79 for me $90 for my husband but his work reimburses him for his

[irene adler]

Appx. 100 for 2 iPhones, 3 gb of shared data through att.

[love1999]

Man, I think I need to go to Verizon and see about a new plan. 2 phones with 2 gb data each, 250 text messages each, 700 shared minutes per month, Asurion coverage and a company discount and we're still paying about $156 per month. We paid for the phones (at the 2 year renewal price) so that is all plan, no phone leases.

[chimera]

Sprint unlimited data 5 lines ~ $250 (just added the MIL on so there were some partials so not sure on the exact after taxes, but it was $250.40 when my dad had been on before he passed).
That includes our phones, we are still all in the 2 year contract discounted phone included


Eta we do have a discount on the first line.

[v]

$131 after tax. Verizon -- two phones, 4 gb of data, unlimited talk and text, 17% corporate discount.

[thatgirl2478]

2 phones, 3 GB data, unlimited everything $135 (includes taxes) with Verizon.

[itsme]

Grandfathered into a Sprint unlimited shared data plan with 1500 mins. We have 3 smart phones and it's about $210/mo.

[doctorsbaby]

3 iPhones, 1 stupid phone, unlimited talk and text with 15gb of data $260ish on Verizon.

[ddi741]

2 phones, Verizon, 700 minutes of talk, 500 text messages, 6gb data total $153 with tax

[Wanderista]

Mine is typically $88 with Sprint for one smartphone with unlimited everything - talk, text and data. I get certain benefits because I use it for work. I have an iPhone 5S which I plan to keep using for a while but probably won't replace with an iPhone. I'm not happy with some performance issues that it has. I am perfectly fine with Sprint so far.

My boyfriend has several phones. His personal line is an old grandfathered Verizon plan. He buys the phone outright to keep it. I used to have one as well but chose to switch to Sprint when I bought my last phone. I wasn't that attached to Verizon and Sprint gave me a better deal.

[orangeblossom]

$100 for two phones. Unlimited poke and messaging. 5GB of data. Cricket wireless.

[Deleted]

4 iPhones, 10G shared data and a ton of minutes (no idea how many we've never used them), plus unlimited texting. About 250 a month.

[Susie]

2 iPhone 6's, 2gb data, unlimited talk/text, government employee discount on one line.  $142/mo, Verizon.

[Deleted]

too much---we barely use them except in emergencies. I think it's around $120 for two phones.

This is something we should cut, or at least look into much cheaper phones, but DH doesn't want to do it yet for whatever reason.

[sfy]

$138 - 2 iPhones, unlimited data, unlimited texts, 1500 minutes (which, of course, we never come close to exceeding, since it's free mobile to mobile and nights and weekends), Sprint.

I have been with Sprint for close to 20 years, and I wouldn't be able to get what they're offering now.  Similarly, I could switch to Verizon and likely get something better than what you have.  It's just the new customer game.

[Ashley&Scott]

$67/mo - 2 lines, 1,000 minutes + free nights/weekends. We don't have smart phones or a texting plan. On an average month there are a handful of texts at .25/each.

[mich1]

2 iPhone 6 we purchased outright. About $40/mo with Ting for both. Both SO and I are always near WiFi, so we keep data to a minimum, usually less than 1 GB/ mo.

[coffeebean]

Usually about $24/month (incl. taxes) with Ting. I have an iPhone5C that I brought over from Sprint. I don't end up using a lot of data since I'm usually in WiFi. Some months I use a little more data...then the bill is about $33.

[oscarnerdjulief]

I'm glad you asked this because it turns out we got a deal through DH's employer and pay $70 for two phones, not what I posted earlier.
