OK, now here's the bummer. We have 1400 minutes, but now with texting, we've been using only about 500 - 600minutes. The plan below ours is 700 min and I'm afraid to go that low. Why don't they have 900 or 1000 minutes? I pay $153/mo. UGH. I need some Verizon counseling. Maybe I'll do it this weekend. Still have my land line because I HATE talking on the cell phone. I can't believe the crappola voice quality that people are willing to tolerate!

I have Verizon - no land line - I pay $60 + $30 for the data plan on my Blackberry. At just over $100 (including taxes) it feels a little steep, but considering I'm not paying for a home line and that I'm 10 times more organized now, it is worth it. EDIT: Another plus is the data plan makes everything except calls unlimited. Most of my calls are to/from people with Verizon, so I never go over my limit.

Me! £35 a month for 800mins and 500texts. I used to have £30 a month for 600mins etc but went over the limit a few times (they just charge huge amounts of money) so upgraded. Thats on O2.

Us. I pay $80/month for a cell/data plan. E pays about that for her phone . . . but she's supplying phones to two daughters and one of their boyfriends on that, too.

Sprint credited me more than $180 in overage when I changed plans - the rep didn't even hesitate.

We owed an EXTRA $500 for that month. I called and asked if there was any kind of State of Emergency Call Donation Fund or something... but what she did was bump us up to the next level plan (unlimited text, 700 minutes, etc etc) for $60 more per month. So... $60 instead of $500. total monthly bill for the three of us: $200 plus taxes and other fees. We need to call and reset our plan to about half that... especially because there are always lots of other mysterious fees and unexpected charges. ugh. not to take anything away from Verizon, but most phone companies will do that if you call. just sayin' in case anyone else runs over minutes and gets a large bill.

I don't think I pay for heat though. not with the electric company. can using a humidifier sometimes at night do that? i just have how much I payed. not the wattage.
