Am I paying too much for Verizon cell phone service?

pretty close to the same bill as me.. except I've got 2 phones and a tablet and i'm around that

Three iphones, unlimited talk and text, 8GB for data...$235 a month.

Chicken, I'm paying just under $300 for 4.

If you keep phones for a while, you can bump up to 10gb, get the "Verizon Edge" which then takes $25 per line back off. Once the phone is "paid for" - you keep the $25 per line discount.

I'm considering doing that - however, if Nexus 6 actually comes out, I'm thinking about jumping to prepaid - I still can't believe I'm paying $300 a month for cell phones.

ok...thanks...I guess my friend was referring to the $160 plan from ATT. ATT doesn't work well in my house, so cannot switch to them.

they said all verizon phones can come over they just give you a new sim card

I'm not doubting you or that they may have said or suggested something like this, Dawg, but I wouldn't trust this without verifying it.

I don't believe it's true, in other words, without calling you a liar.

cspire has a 65 dollar unlimited everything plan.

that chick in your avy is ridiculously hot...what is cspire?

i found it fishy as well but my phone does have a sim

Verizon phones have SIM cards - but that's not the issue - the radios aren't compatible. That's was the deal with the Nexus 5 - Google declined to include CDMA radios in the specs, so Nexus 5 won't work on Verizon - Nexus aren't locked to begin with.

mine is rooted and running Cyanogenmod so i can actually switch to the other network types

Only if the phone itself has the radio - if you got it through Verizon, I can almost guarantee you it does not have GSM capability - "rooted" and other issues aren't germane to this discussion.

i just know $245 a month for two smartphones and two non smartphones with no text plans is kinda killing me

I feel you, brah - I'm about ready to go prepaid, it's so serious (and prepaid has its own set of issues).

If Nexus 6 comes out ready to go on Verizon, I might stay and try the edge - otherwise, I may be on an AT&T or T-Mobile prepaid by the end of the year. ~$300 a month for 4 phones seems excessive.

Chicken, I pay about 190 for 2 iPhones with 10gb on Verizon

I will probably switch to the edge plan when my contract is up in December

It won't save me much money to start but you can upgrade sooner or get a big discount if the phones get paid off

What phones do you have? I would find a friend with AT&T and put their sim in your phone. It should work because the sim slot on Verizon phones is unlocked. Now you won't get LTE with AT&T and you may have to change your APN settings but you should be able to get HSPA+.

i have a Galaxy Note II, a Droid Razr Maxx, a Samsung Brightside, and a Samsung Intensity...i will have to try what you suggested...just knowing that I will only get 3G is a turn off though...
