We have Verizon with 3 phones (including two smart phones with the cheapest internet package on both), with 1400 total minutes and 10 Family and Friends for a total cost (taxes included) of $184/mo.
Seems dang high to me. switch to a Kia so you can afford the cell......freakin cheapskate

Seems dang high to me. I have 4 phones on our plan- husband, sister, daughter and me-2 have the lowest data packages, unlimited texting, 1400 minutes which we use so little of, free weekends and after 9 at night I think- $161.44- Pisses me off- argued with Verizon- if you don't use the data packages why are you charging us? These should be an option and not a charge to people who buy a phone and do not want the data package- thank you very much but my phone is a phone to call and text on- I don't need it for internet or mail and don't want to be billed for those stupid data packages- and the phones without the data packages are stupid phones- we basically have the LG flip phone and don't remember what my daughter has but she is eyeing one of those data package phones and I told her if you get one of them you are paying me 40 bucks a month- she doesn't pay anything right now- my sister pays me 40 bucks a month for her phone but just started when we got the darn data charging phones.

AT&T on both personal and business phones....
Family plan of 4 includes international calls and runs between $200 and $300 a month...
The business plan for one smart phone is $70 month.
I detest AT&T, they have allowed both plans to be slammed time and time again with phony charges for news or ringtones.

Verizon; 3 phones; two are plain jane no texting plan; one is internet unlimited texting blah blah blah. Nationwide freedom, mobile-to-mobile, 10 friends and family, 700 minutes. $145-$148 a month, depending on daughters downloads. I think this is expensive, can't wait till daughter graduates (6+ more years) and she is off our plan.

I hate that we pay $180 for 3 phones (ATT family plan 700 shared minutes and unlimited text)but hubby and I love our iPhones (and 11 yr old step-son has regular phone with data disabled). A lot of our family and friends are on ATT so we always have rollover minutes at the end of each month.

We pay $120/month (Sprint) for two droids, unlimited everything except shared anytime minutes (1500/mo). Unlimited everything means data, web, messaging, mobile-to-mobile, and night/weekends. I think it's worth it for how much we use our phones (constantly). I think they are slowly replacing our laptop.

have att
used to have 4 phones, husband, sister, daughter, and me. Husband had unlimited data, all had unlimited txt, plus things like insurance for me and sis. our bill was $175, but we had a small discount cause of hubbys job.
now divorced, we split the bill (a Pain in the arse BTW) so i pay for sister and me, he pays him and daughter. So now with 2 phones, unlimited texting and ins its 110, but sis pays me $30 since her 5000+ texts a month are why we had to get the unlimited text in the first place.

I love the DROID! Love it! Had one slight problem since I got it this summer, randomly decided last week to delete all my text messages, including locked messages. When doing a search it appears a lot of DROID users have had this issue and there is no known cause or fix to the best of my knowledge. That is the ONLY problem I have had thus far though. It is fast, and Android has a lot of great apps. I wasn't sure about the touch screen, but this thing is pretty accurate. I had a BB Storm and hated it. It was a horrible touch screen.
I have two lines on my account and one data plan (for my phone). My bill is generally running around $130 a month. I have 700 anytime minutes and unlimited texting, pictures, email and internet usage.

After seeing the amounts of everyone's bills, I believe I am in the wrong field; cellular service appears to be where all the money is!

While I was waiting for my Kindle to charge last night I downloaded Angry Birds on my Droid. I'm now seriously addicted to that game but I am stuck on level 15!!!
