    I have to confess we have only 1 bb, and my husband and son both have decoys, doubles as mp3, We have 500 shared minutes, with my son has texting i have a data plan for bb. and with the weekend and in network everyone we talk to is with verizon except my mother in law, We have insurance on all 3 phones and we pay about 130.00 a month....We have verizon, but have been with them for about 10+ years, we still have a plan that is no longer offered. With 4 blackberries you are probably getting a good deal, I dont know if verizon gives a discount on data packages for a family or not, Good luck!

    That is a great deal. Sprint is always cheaper. ATT is $30 each blackberry for their data plan plus $30 for unlimited texts family plan. So there you have $150 plus your monthly plan plus $10 for each additinoal phone. I'd say you'd pay about $290 if you were with ATT.

    My last bill was $92.63 after taxes (including 20% FAN discount). It always in the mid $90 range.

    -FamilyTalk Nation 450 with rollover, 5000 night/weekend and unlimited mobile-to-mobile (2 lines)
    -200 texts for my wife
    -1 BIS plan

    I have an old family talk plan. I don't do many texts, maybe just a few here and there, so not worth it to switch to a plan with more texting, like unlimited texting. I wish I could get my bill lower, but this seems like the optimal set-up for me, unless someone has any recommendations.

    I must be doing something wrong. AT&T being my employer, I get 50% off the family plan, the bb plan and family messaging, yes my bill was about that last month, lol.

    Old 850 minute plan with 3 lines $70+$10+$10
    $30 unlimited data and messaging iphone plan
    $35 for bis and 200 texts
    Our monthly bill is $192 or so. Its funny cause when we had 4 lines it was exactly $10 more. So somehow the $10 line charge was dropped but I guess they distributed the taxes among the other lines...
