I use Verizon and for 3 smart phones..I pay 250 a month for 700 shared minutes, unlimited texting and 2gigs of data....ridiculus....as soon as contracts are up I'm switching to "straight talk"

45 a month unlimited talk, text and data....i will save a hundred a month right off the bat..a family member uses straight talk the last two years and she said it works great....

We pay 250 for 2 with ATT. Cell phone plans are garbage with any carrier. If you had 4 you could probably get a discount.

ATT and Verizon have the best coverage in the 48. Just depends where you live if one covers that area better than the other.

TMobile and Sprint are unusable outside of most cities.

why? you can check the deals out on their website although they've probably changed since i got it..but probably in a good way.

it was $60 for first line then $10/line to add the other 5 then a bunch of tax & stuff took it from $110 to $138.

just switched a few months ago from Straight Talk to Project Fi.

Was with ST for 3 years. No complaints really except i just wasn't using as much mobile data as i thought i was paying for.

Now my bill runs me around $32-40 a month. Depends on how much data i use.

Usually doesn't have good coverage, that is why the price is right.

It is getting better. If you stay on interstate and major through ways outside a city, then yes.
