Unless you're really clumsy, get rid of the phone protection.

You might want to check over your services to see that you're not paying more than what you actually use. I'm on a family plan with 5 lines and my bill is somewhat around $250 a month including any fees and taxes. This includes the following:

- MyFaves for Families 1800 minutes for $90 (this a grandfathered promo plan no longer available)
- 4 BBs (3 with data, not unlimited on two) @$60
- Unlimited Family Messaging for $25
- 1 dumbphone (no data, just voice)
- Family Allowances for $2.00 (grandfathered)
- Callertunes on my line for $1.50
- 3 Add a line for $30
- Handset protection for 3 BBs for $18 (3 BBs)

There's no other plan out there on TMO that is better than what I have. I've been told by many CSRs to keep it because my usage is less than 1800 minutes per month. You can save a bit by removing some things or downgrade on your plan like I did. I can knock off $18 if I remove the handset protection because it will go up to $7.99 per phone after 06/15/2011. I'm still undecided.

That is pretty high. I pay 163 a month for...
-1000 anytime minutes on 5 phones. 59$
-unlimited text messaging. 19$
-data on 2 of the phones. 60$
-protection on 3 phones. 18$
-caller tunes on 1 phone. 1.25$
-add a line for 10 dollars, but did that special for a year, so free till March 2012. It will be going up to 30 bucks after that....

So with taxes and what not is 163 and some change....will be 193 in 2012, depending on what goes on with this merger though.

Not to bad, afraid it will go way up though.

I know that. I was asking sandangel what plan she (I assume) has. She has 5 lines and is paying less than double what I am.
