I am super cheap re: cell phone plans ( I am used to paying less than $50/month for unlimited everything, even intl calls) and I still have a 4 years old flip phone. I seriously want a smartphone, it's 2012 after all!
So, tell me what you have:
Provider? Type of phone (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy...)? How much does it cost/month? What is included? Any tips on getting a good deal (discounts, Amazon phones...)?

sprint htc evo 79/month which includes all taxes and fees. I get 450 day time minutes. Free calls after 7p and on weekends. I get unlimited mobile to mobile (on any carrier-doesn't have to be sprint), unlimited texting, unlimited data.
As for tips I would if you any discount through your employer. I get 20% off with Sprint.

AT&T iPhone $43 - I'm the 3rd line on my parents family plan, so it's $30 for data and $10 for the added line fee. I get unlimited texts, mobile to mobile calls, and I'm included in their 1400 minutes, eventhough I rarely use any.

I'm with you. I have a flip phone too. Bf says he's getting me an IPhone for my Bday next month (which he can totally afford) but how does that work? He buys the phone and I pay a higher bill each month? I get an 18% discount through my work, so I dont know what he is planning on doing).
Verizon Droid (an old one) $96 per month 700 peak, unlimited nights/weekends, unlimited data and texts If you don't need an iPhone, go through newegg.com. Keep in mind that as soon as you upgrade a phone most providers make you accept whatever new terms they've put in place. When I upgrade in the next few months I will lose my unlimited data.

AT&T iPhone 4s I pay $150 a month but I have my mom's old line and then xFI is on my plan. We share 600 minutes. He has his data plan (2g) plus I have unlimited data (grandfathered in since I have had an iPhone since the beginning). We both have unlimited text, mobile to mobile and free nights and weekends. I get a 19% government discount as well. I pay roughly $75 a month after I split everything.
Provider? Verizon Type of phone (iPhone, Samsung Galaxy...)? Droid Razr How much does it cost/month? $90 What is included? 5000 texts, 450 minutes, 4gb data. I use up maybe half my minutes, 2000 texts, and about 1.5gb a month. Any tips on getting a good deal (discounts, Amazon phones...)? See if your company has discounts with anyone. At my last job, we got 15% with Verizon. I also use Google Voice for some calls if I think they will be long so that I don't use up my minutes.
