I am on a family plan with my parents with cingualr (or whatever it is now), so we get those lovely roll over minutes. we have their cheapest plan but still don't use all the minuters , so those have piled up over the years. Now we are at whatever the maximum number of rollover minutes is. My phone only gets a signal on hills in this darn state though.

Cingular uses Unicel's network. There's a reason Unicel users call them UniH e l l

Last year my wife bought me a tracfone with 250 prepaid minutes and a year to use them. The year expired with 216 minutes left on the phone ... guess I'm just addicted ...

I'm on Cingular/ATT 400 anytime, free nights and weekends with rollover minutes, 39.99 a month. I have 4000+ rollover minutes in the bank.

2 words.
Pre paid.
Well that's actually one word and a prefix but you get the idea.
I spend about $30/month, no worries, no dramas and no major bill stuff ups.

When I went to the iPhone, I had to switch to AT&T. I was on Sprint for 6 years or so. Sprint's nights start at 7pm, AT&T's start at 9pm. You can guess the tight spot I found myself in in the first month.

Other than that, I haven't had any troubles.

800 Family minutes (2 Phones)
Free Nights and Weekends
Free Mobile to Mobile
Unlimited Text Messages (to/from anyone)
Unlimited Data Plan for iPhone

120 bucks a month.

The biggest scam is 'text messages'---if they aren't 'allowed' in your contract, you get nailed up to 50 cents each

Yeah, and if some spamming tard gets access to your #, you're screwed. I fought with Verizon on this.

They couldn't trace the source either...

How the *** can you allow someone access to my #, recognize that I got a text message, charge me for it, but you can't block the sender?! Someone in your organization needs to be fired.

I had a similar problem with too much $$$ on my electric bill 3 months in a row with PG&E, so it's not uncommon. Went from $80 to like $2500!

I only have a mobile phone from T-Mobile, no land line. $29.99/mo for 300 anytime and unlimited weekends. For as much as I care to use the phone, this is basically unlimited.

While in college, I worked in a T-Mobile call center for almost 2 years (yeah, that sucked), and the "I COULDN'T HAVE USED THAT MANY MINUTES!!!" was always my favorite type of call.

The one call in particular that stands out is when a mother called about text message charges on her bill that she didn't expect. They were sent/received on her daughter's phone, and she had me list the times that the messages happened. I listed off several date/time ranges, most of which were during the week when her daughter would be in school, to which she replied that this was impossible because it was against school rules for her daughter to be using her mobile phone in class. It took a lot of self control to not let a laugh slip out after hearing that one. After explaining that the phone's serial # was recorded with each text message sent, and the few that I checked did match her daughter's phone, she decided she'd talk with her daughter and call back later.
