That's how I read it too, not sure why you got a thumb down?

But why would you ever pay for that, let alone so much?

Looks like everyone else was right and the FML God is wrong! Never thought I'd live to see this day.

There exist higher-range and business phone contracts. It's hardly uncommon, and is the logical explanation here. Come at me, Alan.

Haha...thats funny! I think you meant to say "obscene".

I don't know if Verizon allows it, but you could negotiate a new plan, as long as you keep paying for your plan every month till the contract runs off, they can (in theory) change the plan, plan options, extras, so you're paying less each month, and only for what you use. Rogers does it, don't see why Verizon wouldn't.

#62 Who would Roger be?

I pay $40 a month for unlimited talk/text and 500mb of data with page plus wireless, I suggest you switch to that as it has NO CONTRACT

#66 Rogers is the Canadian equivalent to Verizon. They're my carrier. I have basically everything the OP mentioned on my plan (minus the insurance and extra person) and mines $65 a month.

67- the point if her saying she has a contract is because she can't switch to a different company unless she wants to pay a huge disconnection fee. About $700 (at least when I switched from Sprint to Verizon because their customer service and phone service is absolutely terrible)

I would suggest switching to a Straight Talk phone OP. You get everything your plan offers you for $45 a month. Plus they have decent phones or you can switch your current phone once your contract is up. I plan on switching when my own contract is up cuz $130 is way to much for one phone.

I have an iPhone plan through AT&T. Even with a 16 percent discount through work, I pay a little over 100 for unlimited talk/text, and 2 gigs of data.

Hey OP! You don't need that much talk time or text allowance. You should look up other plans from your provider and switch to a smaller plan. The contract you signed is to guarantee that you pay them each month, but not how much. You don't use all that data so it should be no problem to get a smaller amount. You should be able to save at least $40.

72- I know what you are talking about. I have ATT with an 18% discount. 2 smart phones with 2g data and insurance, unlimited text, and the smallest voice plan. $140/month. Honestly, I would rather pay a usage fee for minutes. Average bill uses 35 minutes out of 200.

I've got a Sony Xperia Z, I get 5000texts, 500mins and unlimited data, I pay £29 a month for 2 years. that is an insanely high price you pay, as soon as your contract ends, leave.

My carrier is bell.I have world wide texting, 3G of data to use on the Internet, picture messaging, unlimited texting, fav 10. Calling after 6pm thing. A few others things I can't remember. I pay $87.50 a month.

AT&T here. With four iPhones, 1400 shared minutes, free mobile to mobile and texting, free nights/weekends, and rollover plus only 2 insurances we pay $240 a month. That's with no discounts and each additional person off mine is $10 a line too. You should call them and see. Usually they allow you to change the plan, just call them and see. You'd be surprised.

I pay ~$30 a month for unlimited calls, unlimited texts, unlimited MMS, unlimited data (3GB before speed reduction, I never reach it anyway) and unlimited calls to landline phones in 55 other countries, including mobile for USA and Canada. Golan Telecom, Israel. The only "downside" is that you need to get your own phone, they only provide the sim card. I really prefer it this way anyway.

I would text you if I had your number. message my email [email protected] with your number and ill give you mine

I pay about $65 a month for unlimited local calling, free evenings and weekends, 150 long distance minutes, unlimited text, picture and video messages. Plus I get unlimited data.

I pay $40 a month for unlimited text data and calling. I WIN

My plan is 40$ a month and I get unlimited calls and texts and runs on 4gb data per month and it's not lock in and runs on Optus

Sprint does this too.

With verizon, we have an iphone a galexy s3 and an htc thunderbolt and pay a little less than 200 a month for unlimited texts data and 800 minutes

I have Sprint on my iPhone 52sc3g. I get 5000000000 minutes an hour, 8473727293663331 texts a minute 4473839177475 Peta-bytes of data every 3.14159265358979 seconds. They actually pay me $500k/week to use their service. I'm a superior human being now because I shared my cell phone plan on the internet, right? RIGHT?!?

I pay $60 for your plan. koodo in Canada

500mb is awful

You are a women? How does that work?

I can tell that u have verizon...verizon & sprint are the most expensive. ..I have tmobile and have 2 gb of data and unlimited talk & text, insurance on my phone and I pay less than $100 a month

Have you never seen that girl with two heads? This may be her.

eww drop at&t or whatever n go to sprint. .. :)

@88 no, you really don't.

I love how everyone who has ever shopped for a phone plan suddenly thinks they are an expert on who the best and cheapest carrier is regardless of location.

Yes it is verizon, and I've been debating the prepaid myself. However those damn contracts got me stuck for now.

You should see if you can do Ting instead. It'll be much less, and there's no contract to hassle with.

Virgin mobile is great. They offer good phones, a range of plans, and they run on the Sprint network so connections are good. Their most expensive plan is $55 a month for unlimited voice, text, and data. And you can usually keep your number. I highly recommend.

Virgin mobiles customer service is awful though. At least the ppl I've dealt with there
