Question

Okay!  After reading lots of posts I’ve realized that I pay way too much for our phone bill.Okay! After reading lots of posts I’ve realized that I pay way too much for our phone bill. $225 a month for just me and my husband. That’s too much isn’t it? We have unlimited text/call/internet but I feel like it’s still a lot. We have ATT. Debating on whether or not to switch to T-Mobile or maybe another one? Anyone have any advice on how to cancel a service. I’m terrible at calling ATT and complaining about their service but we really struggle paying that every month. Help!  

Answer 1

We have tmoblie brand new phones, we got them bogo (the only way we get new phones). We pay 142 for insurance, phones, and unlimited everything

Answer 2

We have Verizon unlimited for 3 phones & only pay $199.  

Answer 3

I have 3 lines with AT&T all unlimited everything and we only pay $160/mo

Answer 4

I have sprint and pay $130 for 2 lines, unlimited plans and the monthly lease of my phone. Once the phone is paid off, it will be about $100.  

Answer 5

Try Xfinity mobile. I have it. It’s contract free. I was paying about 70 for my phone and unlimited everything. I paid off my phone so now it’s around $35. So double that and that’s what you two would pay. You also have access to all the Xfinity hotspots and I live in a city where they are all over I also got a brand new iPhone XR last year when I switched.  

Answer 6

We have 2 lines with T-Mobile, unlimited everything, $110/mo

Answer 7

Ours was around there with AT&T for just my husband and I. We switched over to T-Mobile and pay $113. 25 now (includes payments for my iPhone 11 Pro). No regrets!  

Comments

@cammiecammy how many lines? And only 1 financed w tmobile or 2

---

2 lines, 1 financed phone. And it includes free Netflix so eliminated that bill for us :-).  

Answer 8

My husband and I both have unlimited everything and it’s $104/month. We are with Cspire!  

Answer 9

We switched to T-Mobile from Verizon. Verizon was not unlimited and was ridiculous like 250 a month. T-Mobile is unlimited everything plus they pay Netflix and it’s 140 exactly a month. Plus they have some promotion now where you get 2 new iPhones and it’s like 90 a month.  

Answer 10

Yes too much!  

Answer 11

I have Verizon I pay $270 a month for for phones and all of us have brand new phones so yes you're paying way to much

Answer 12

We have US Cellular in Nebraska and pay $288 for 4 lines, unlimited data and 4 device payments. We switched a year ago from Verizon where we were paying $399 for 4 phones and limited data.  

Answer 13

Have T-Mobile. 3 lines unlimited everything plus free Netflix $175 which includes 2 phone leases. Once paid off it’ll be about $120. Haven’t calculated it yet.  

Answer 14

We have Verizon, unlimited everything, iTunes unlimited, hot spots, and 1 Year free Disney plus . 5 lines. $185

Answer 15

Yea way too much! We went to T-Mobile from Verizon and pay lowest $105 for 4 lines. I did this years ago but I never had to cancel with Verizon; T-Mobile did all the work to port the #s and all

Answer 16

I pay 140$ 2 line 6g shared amd still paying my iPhone 10 off its 30 month When I’m done my bill should be $100 tell them what you can afford

Answer 17

That’s too much! Even for unlimited. You can look on the app and check but I just looked recently for my husband and I and I think it was going to be about $150. We are not paying on any phones, have 5 gigs I think and with discounts I’m only paying $90/mo

Answer 18

Cricket uses ATT towers and it's a lot cheaper!  

Answer 19

I pay $180 for four lines with unlimited with all equipment paid in full. I am with TMobile.  

Answer 20

I'm in the UK, but pay £27 for landline and broadband, £9 for my mobile phone, £11 for husband's and £5 for son's (phones all paid for, just for texts and data etc). US prices seem so high for phone!  

Answer 21

We are around $160/mo with one phone being paid off, usually around $120/mo without it. We do not have unlimited. See how much dated you’re using, unlimited isn’t always worth it unless you’re truly going over their data limits on other packages.  

Answer 22

That’s what we pay

Answer 23

Following bc I pay about the same with AT&T

Answer 24

Former AT&T manager. Go to an Att store to discuss your option. Don’t rely on chats or whatever. Customer service is unbelievably bad.  

Comments

@interrogative what options are there

---

@bisk lol I usually go to the stores for what I need done cell wise. They at least have an inkling of what you’re requesting/needing. The reason I say CS is bad is because lots work strictly from a script and if not answered will either tell you something or leaving you hanging. If you don’t agree with what they’re saying ask for a manager/supervisor or keep calling until the give you some type resolution or at least understand. Lol the last time I called about my internet I got rep from out of the country we urge a script.  

Answer 25

Cricket uses the same as att

Answer 26

Call them and threaten to leave, they’ll give you a discount

Answer 27

My husband and I have flash wireless that uses sprint towers or att towers, depending which plan you choose. On the sprint side there is 2 line family plan for $90 per month. It has unlimited talk, text and data! You pay wayyyyy too much!  

Answer 28

Does that also include the phones? Mine was $215, but included my phone. Paid it off and now it’s $165.  

Answer 29

We pay $125 for three lines. ‍♀️ I think alot depends on your work, life and where your at tho. so.  

Answer 30

I pay that much with Verizon and I have a watch attached. I won't get cheaper though you can't beat the service.  

Answer 31

Just ask around people who live in your area how the service is. I switched to t mobile and regret it big time because I’m my area the LTE is SO BAD. I’m tempted to pay out my brand new iPhone 11 just so I can switch to tello because sprint network is great in the area.  

Answer 32

I have att and when I had 2 lines it was $150 and then when I dropped to 1 it was below $100 . they have specials and different plan options. I’ve been with att for about 15 years

Answer 33

We were in that boat with Verizon. We switched to t mobile 5 years ago and we love it! We fronted the “early termination fee” to Verizon and t mobile sent us a prepaid debit with that amount on it a month later. We pay $100/month for unlimited everything it’s wonderful

Answer 34

So many comments so I apologize if this has been said but if you’ve been with them a long time they do have a loyal customer program and they can transfer you. I saved a ton got it down to $237 and we had 6, now 4 lines. Unlimited everything and hbo. The issue originally for us was the payments on all the phones (some family members kept breaking and losing their phones ‍♀️) that jacked up the bill. Once they were all paid off and I dropped 2 lines I ended up at $187 unlimited for 4 lines. I’d think 2 would be cheaper

Answer 35

I was in that boat with Verizon for 2 phones. Once the phones were paid off, we switched to Verizon prepaid! Same exact service! See if at&t has a prepaid option

Answer 36

Call ATT and ask for their loyalty department. Tell them you are shopping around for different phone service and ask them what they can do for you.  

Answer 37

That’s reasonable for an unlimited plan with internet. Internet on its own can cost anywhere from $50-$125/mo. Unless the internet you referenced was just cellular, not for your home as well?  

Answer 38

We have T-mobile and I will say while I bill is significantly lower than yours - 3 lines unlimited everything for $106 (was $130 before my husband became primary and is a veteran). the service is limited in some parts of the country and even in parts of our house. I heard Talk Wireless is good too.  

Answer 39

6 unlimited talk txt data for 230 with att in Alaska

Answer 40

I pay only $75 monthly for a single connection and that includes a $15 plan for international calling to India and has unlimited data plan But i am part of a group plan which comprises 6 other numbers. And its ATT

Answer 41

Do NOT use Verizon. Their customer service is terrible and talk about being locked into contracts. I have heard good things about T Mobile and Sprint.  

Answer 42

I called ATT before making any changes. We are paying for HotSpot I didn't even know and we don't use. So they cut that out. Hopefully that works out for us! I think we will stay for one more paying cycle. If it really does go down then I guess we will just go from there month to month.
