What's the $5 booster renewal?

I used to pay 21.70 a month with Sprint SERO but the new billing system knocked off some of my discount. Now its like 26 something.

 

[SuperSix]

Tmobile - JDPowers ranked #1 in service. Been with them for many years. Just upgraded to the new Motorola W490

You buy the cheapest minutes card you can find before the year runs out, and it renews the plan for another year (if you have minutes left). Check out the Howard Forums pre-paid section.

[DisgruntledVirus]

Verizon
4 lines (mine, my ex gf b/c I spend $10/mo to keep her on vs $175 early term fee and its only another 2 months, and 2 friends who pay their part)
unlimited texts to anybody on all lines
unlimited data on my phone (which includes being able to use it as a broadband modem on the EV-DO network which I am using now on the OH turnpike as posting )
nights/weekends start at 9 I think
$160 or so, but the 2 friends cover $90 of it so to me its only $60 (for the data part)+ like $15 for calling, so it's only like $75/mo for me but I might look into this sprint SERO plan when contracts up in ~2 months

 

[Pliablemoose]

~$105/month
T-Mobile
1200 minutes
Family plan (my Faves) with 4 lines of service
unlimited texting
tmobile web

I only have 1 TMobile phone on the plan, all the rest are unlocked from other carriers

 

[tfinch2]

Sprint
800 minutes ($70) + $5 per 100 minutes we go over
4 lines (+ $20)
I have insurance and internet on my phone (+ $19)
My GF has 300 text messages (+ $5)

So $114 before taxes and overages. It usually comes out to about $160 a month because we always go over.

 

[Soundmanred]

Cricket
Unlimited Long Distance any time of day or night
Unlimited Text
Unlimited Web
I pay $5 extra per month for roaming
$45/month, I own the phone and can cancel at any time without fines or fees.
Service areas are a thousand times better than they used to be, so it's an awesome plan.

 

[jiggahertz]

AT&T
450 Minutes
unlimited blackberry internet
1500 sms
$69/mo

 

[Throckmorton]

$50 per 500+ minutes and the phone was $30. T-Mobile prepaid. I buy 500 minutes about once every 5 months, or maybe even less often.

 

[conehead433]

I didn't vote because I pay ~$10 a month for a Tracfone. I'm not much for talking on the phone.

about $10. maybe $15 including the payment on my cellphone. i'm on a governement workers plan (my grandfather works for the government which gives a plan for up to 5 lines).

i have 200 free minutes with the other 4 family members on the plan per month.
there is no monthly cap.
price per minute is about $0.10 a minute.
SMS's are $0.15 each

my average monthly bill barely exceeds $10 but then i don't have internet or anything like that. basic nokia 3100.
