Verizon Wireless $40 a month, 400 minutes. Nationwide, Nights & Weekends free. Text messaging is .02 to recieve and .07 to send, or $4.99 a month for unlimited.
I love this plan. I don't have anybody I need to talk to for 400 minutes so I don't even get close to going over.

We must have a heck of a good plan at work. We have 25 Nextel phones for all the managers, with all the bells and whistles (paging, weatherbug, all that junk) and the total cost is $300/month, according to our budget sheets.
I'd switch from landlines to all cell if they'd just build a tower near my house. No signal for 10 miles around.

I thought my dads bill of $353 for a month, one phone was totally outrageous.
Mine on the other hand, is nothing. if there was ever a situation i needed a cell phone, I would need a sattleite phone, and that would be to call the search and rescue guys to tell them that I was stuck on Aconcagua in South America.

My only phone is a cell phone. I have 600 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends for $40.00 per month. I use my phone for all my personal and business related calling. I do not do text messaging and access the internet with my phone - strictly voice communication. I woulkd never go back to a land line and actually have better service at less expense then when I had a land line and a smaller cell package. Plus NO telemarketing calls because my number is unlisted and I only give it to those I wish to have it.

I bought an old bag phone at Good Will a while back, just because it was a Ford edition. It was cool and a couple bucks. Took it to work and hooked it up, it was still activated! The number was out of the midwest someplace. Tried it a couple months later and still worked. I should try it again.

I solved my cellphone problem. I called her husband then called her boyfrend .Husband pays$434. Boyfrend pays $500. Then I had the phone put on vacation. That only cost me $5.00 a month.My daughter's husband just got called up from the army reserves so my next bill will be a biggie to.O-well the things you do for the kids.
