    The irony of all this is that mine was ending this month anyways, and service has went to shit. I drop so many calls it's not funny. Considering ATT or Sprint, but will give it one more shot with a better phone- maybe it's my phone

    T-Mobile drops contract plans, ends phone subsidies - latimes.com

    Good news for all of you who signed a contract on teh galaxy S3 earlier this year when they were on sale. I'm an idiot for not doing that.

    I'm going to go on a limb and say using $800 worth of data is 100% the user, not Verizon. lol

    Verizon charges way to much for their services. It's not called being poor if your wallet is being humped by a tiny verizon midget when you're not looking.

    Verizon isn't even that expensive, at least not for me. I only have like 2GB of data maybe 1GB, I primarily use my computer and phone for random stuff on the go so don't rack it up, two smart phones on the account, unlimited text, etc. It's like $150 a month and I never have an issue finding service or losing calls.

    170 a month for Verizon with 2 smart phones, 1 with 2GB and the other with unlimited data. Verizon isnt the cheapest and I will never claim it to be, but I have service where NO ONE else does.

    Verizon is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    The only other I'd consider is AT&T, T-Mobile in my experience SUCKS like Metro. Always losing service.

    I have to pay full retail for a phone because I won't sign a new contract and lose my unlimited data.

    I had a BlackBerry a few years ago with Verizon and had unlimited, got rid of it, I wish I didn't. Unlimited would be nice.

    $550 to be exact.

    The new way costs us $400 more per year if we "subsidize" 4 sgsIII.. And if we supply our own phone we save $360. Fuckin bullshit I say, because supplying our own phones would cost around $1000.

    yeah t-mobile's price is unbeatable... and I've been with them for over 7 years, and I have an epic plan that they no longer offer. Unlimited data on all lines, unlimited text/picture/media, free nights/weekends, and a bunch of share minutes on 3 phones and 1 USB data device (which I don't even use) for like $201

    I'm thinking the plan isn't all that special if my service is so spotty. Also, I read on the news a while back that ATT bought out T-mobile- may be mistaken.

    So with that said, anyone have any ideas... I'm thinking of getting 3 nice smartphones and 3 new lines (numbers ported over) maybe 3000 mins between all 3 and unlimited data on two of the lines. No data on the third. I am going to drop the mobile USB, i'm paying $50/month for that and I never use it.

    Why do you guys say Verizon is so awesome? Coverage? Bandwidth?

    I simply prefer Verizon because of coverage, no point in paying for a phone if I can't use it whenever I want.

    yea that $20 over 2 years..that's a gimmick..that makes you stuck paying for a phone that will be obsolete after 3 months. Tmobile is becoming a bigger and bigger scam artist

    they stopped at&t from buying tmobile. so that never came into fruition, but the quote below is why i say verizon is awesome, it's definitely not the price of the plans...i'd end up paying $35 more if i do plan to switch, fukin sucks

    Damn, you all got some crazy phone bills. I pay $10/mo but of course it would be more if I used data. I'd rather spend the cash elsewhere though. My wife has tmobile with unlimited everything for $50/mo.

    Yep! I have Verizon and love the fact that I'm talking in places others with other phone providers can't. I pay $120/month for unlimited talk and text and 300mb of data. We have 2 desktops, 2 laptops, a NookHD and the PS3 at home if I need to be on the internet. I have no purposeful reason to be attached to the world 24 hours a day to justify a more ridiculous phone bill.

    I'm on Verizon and I average nearly 5 gigs of data a month cayse I stream music all day at work. A data plan to support my usage would cost me another 30 a month.
