Today, I realized I pay $160/month to get two texts a day. One from my bank telling me how much I have, one for my credit card telling me how much I owe. FML

Okay, first off, I am a women. As for the fml, I was complaining that I pay such a high price to get those two texts a day and the occasional phone call from my employer to cover a shift. Expensive paper weight is what it is and I'm stuck in a contract. With the debate on price, yes, very expensive. I get unlimited text as well as calling (god knows what for), and 1 gig of data which I never use up since I'm almost always in wifi. I do in fact have somebody on my plan with me but that only adds another 10 dollars a month to my bill. There's also insurance on both phones, considering they are smart phones and I'm a bit of a klutz. I know I could always shop around with other phone competitors but living where I do if you so much as want service in your home you have little choice. Any more questions? :P

Cancel the texts and instead use that 160 to of that which you owe, or start to at least.

... Why the **** are you paying that much on a phone bill?

160?! Are you texting people on the moon?!

Seriously :0 I think here in Aussieland you wouldn't pay more than $80ish for a plan like that

I work for AT&T and keep in mind that even with insurance OP you will still have to pay about a $199 deductible to replace your phone if it gets damaged so weigh your options there. But definitely renegotiate your plan I know with us you could get unlimited minutes and 1gb of shared data each for 130$/mo for both phones..

Exactly. My phone vendor bullshitted me into buying a $150 warranty, and now I realize I have to pay $200 to get a replacement phone anyway. I bought the original phone for $200.

Wow! I get unlimited calls, text, mms and 5gb of data for only $35 per month!!!! Mind you I bought my phone outright, that was $1000 but I'd never pay what you're paying. Don't know how you'd ever live with just 1gb.. I'd hate to see the penalty rates they charge for going over your data limit!!!!

This isn't spam or anything, but you should use Ting.com You pay as you go and save a shitload of money. At least look it up.

Wow. I think that we pay only about $100 per month for 2 phones, insurance, unlimited calling and texting and unlimited data. You may want to try renegotiating that contract. Sounds like a rip off.

I pay $55 a month for unlimited everything. My husband is on the same plan. Together, we spend $110 a month.
