I got a mailer the other day from Sprint, begging me to back as a mobile customer. I expected to see some sort of deal being offered. Instead, I was shocked at what they considered a bargain for mobile phone service: a hundred bucks a month?
Have I been so spoiled with my Net10 pay-per-use phone that what everyone else considers reasonable strikes me as highway robbery? What are y’all paying for mobile service?
To be fair, that $100/month Sprint is offering is unlimited everything, which as far as other cell phone companies charge, isn’t that bad. A better comparison in your case would be comparing against Sprint’s talk only plans which seem to run $30/month for 200 minutes or $40/month for 450 minutes and unlimited nights/weekends. All of that is for an individual phone user. Family plans would be higher.
For us, we’re on Cingular (well, AT&T now, I guess) and we pay in the range of $100-$120/month for the two of us. We’re on a higher monthly minutes plan, though, because we weren’t paying attention to it and had a couple of months where we went way over and got socked with some $300-$400 monthly bills! (Yikes!)
