    LOl--so then 15 for data plan then your only paying 10 dollars for 1500 minutes and unlimited text?

    OP, I disagree. It sounds like a reasonable deal I am paying for 5 lines (one is a BB) + some goodies for about $174/month (1400 min). However, one's tolerance for expense is an individual thing. T-mobile is usually cheaper, but, depending on their local coverage you may or may not be happy with their coverage.

    I've been told by some Telus people that I have a pretty good plan.

    6pm to 8am free
    Weekends free
    Caller ID
    Unlimited Text
    Unlimited Data
    Voicemail 10
    75 LD minutes
    300 Regular minutes

    All for $52 a month. I don't talk as much as I text, and I use the internet alot so I think it's a pretty good deal.

    sorry to steal some attention but currently i have a family plan for 2 lines and its almost 170 dollars. kinda steep since i just someone with 2 lines pay only 120. the monthly bill of 170 includes 20% discount because my gf works at cvs.

    i already factored out the vz nav on both phones (so it comes out to 170.00), which was 10.00 each, and my gf has 10.00 for 500 txt mssgs. other than that, i have a 700 min plan for 59.99 each with 29.99 data plan. any way to decrease the 700 mins cause both of us dont even go over 300? we mainly stick to messaging.

    Any nationwide family plan should have unlimited texting as far as I know. You could just be stuck on an old plan. I'd call Verizon. Contrary to popular belief, they're very helpful when you ask them for ways to lower your bill.

    600 minutes
    Unlimited Text
    Unlimited Data
    Insurance...

    All in at �39.00 per month. For u that would be $55.

    And also $1932 per YEAR for 4 phones is Baaaaad....

    But, $1800 u deem as acceptable?? lol ooh u could really break their bank on that one if thet match what u want lol.
    Well, since you want to play dirty...

    How much do you pay for gas? After all the conversions (since you guys sell it in liters) I believe you guys pay about $8.50/gallon. for you that would be about �5.9/gallon... ouch...

    I don't buy that... I thought all employees had to migrate to the new pricing. I also thought that the discount was 50% off plans. I haven't heard of any greater discounts than that.

    Does this guy think he can go to another carrier and get a better deal? $161 for 4 phones, pretty cheap. Some pay that for 1 phone. Seems like nothing is good enough.

    There is no 1500 min plan...it's employee only for "indirect" employees

    Ok, based off maybe the first 10 responses I wrote, I'm going to guess most of you either didn't read what I wrote or overpay yourselves.

    For one, I said the proper price of my plan SHOULD be around $150/mo (before my 20% discount). Right now it's about $201/mo. That's 4 phones, NONE with data. I don't know where some of you got off thinking I had four phones w/ data plans for $201/month.

    Secondly, how is $160/month for four phones (none with data) a great deal? I keep seeing "I pay $150/mo for two phones" or whatever. Maybe that's because you guys have TWO data plans? Twice as many minutes? *head smack*

    I'm just saying.. $200/month for 4 phones (ONE with data) isn't exactly a stellar deal, is it? No, not at all. Quit factoring in my 20% off because that's completely unrelated to what Verizon is charging me.

    If you think its too much...it probably is so switch to t-mo or sprint and be done with it instead of asking
    If your paying an expensive bill (news flash verizon is expensive).

    Seriously if your wallet can't afford the extra heft of a data plan...maybe look towards something cheaper.

    My phone bill is only 40 dollars cheaper and its just one line, you have to pay to play unfortunately

    My faves is stupid. Way to go. You got a crappy plan with no minutes and no data for $50. Have you even compared your plan to other carriers? It proportional to other's plans. You just have less minutes.

    Im trying to decide whether you cant read, (unlimited data fool) Or that you dont understand the national calling features of my faves 5, i can call 5 numbers, anywhere in canada, anytime, so maybe get your facts straight before you try to pwn my plan fool.
