How much you pay per month:

I'm currently on a pre-paid service with no data. Just wanted to see what kind of service you all have and how much you pay.
 
I used to be on the T-Mobile $30 a month plan for 100 minutes, unlimited text and data (throttled after 5 GB), no data roaming. Then my job moved locations to a place with awful T-Mobile coverage and I switched to Sprint Framily for $45 a month for unlimited everything.
 
Sprint SERO plan here. $50/month completely unlimited 4G data, 500 anytime minutes. Free mobile to any mobile.

Same plan for me with an iPhone 6. I use about 1200 mobile to mobile minutes every month, works out great.

Same here, well I use a note 4. Use about 15+ GB a month of 4G LTE alone. Never had a single issue with Sprint. In my state they have excellent coverage. I can't tell you the last time I was roaming. But that said they just expanded roaming agreements....

But I digress. I have been on a SERO plan since 2007 ish
 
Verizon unlimited everything except mins at 1400/month (unlimited to 10 numbers of our choice though) for $135/month on 2 lines. Worth it to me to have unlimited LTE literally everywhere we travel. Sprint doesn't even have 3G most places around me. T-Mo has LTE here now, so I may consider going to them soon, seems like they're spreading LTE out faster than Sprint, at least in KY.
 
Basic voice plan, for like $25/mo. Data plans start at like $70/mo for 50MB, so really not worth it.
 
Unlimited talk and text with 10gb of data on 2 lines. At&t. $110 a month.
Not terrible but we hate the fact that we have to pay about $30 more a month per phone when we upgrade and AT&T acts like they are doing us a favor and letting us upgrade every year (as long as we pay off our old phones or trade them in). If it was a plan where we pay $200 or $100 up front for the phone and only paid $110 a month, it would be great.
 
Sprint, unlimited everything, except for landlines which is 400 min/month. I rarely hit 100. I get 18% discount through work. $90/month.

My work phone is Verizon, unlimited everything including data with a hotspot. I don't ever see the bill. Price unknown. Verizon is very good to us since we have over 4000 phones.
 
I have 4 lines on T-Mobile, unlimited local minutes, unlimited text, 4.5 GB per line, with data stash and rollover, $100 month total plus taxes etc. Can add up to 11 more lines for $10 each.
 
Straight Talk Unlimited everything for $45/month. Though data speeds are capped after 3GB.
 
I pay Rogers (one of the big three Canadian carriers) $96 per month after taxes for a rather unusual grandfathered plan:

- 250 minutes of voice on a flexible plan (if you go above 250 minutes, it kicks you into another tier rather than charging overages)
- 2,500 text messages
- And the most important bit: 6GB of tether-friendly data

If I went for a modern plan with 6GB, I'd probably end up paying $105 a month... admittedly, I'd also get unlimited voice and text, but there's not much point to spending more money when I hardly use those features anyway.
 
Verizon - Unlimited Talk & Text - 4GB Data (some loyalty upgrade thing from 2GB). I also have 1GB promotional data for a year, and the $8 theft/water damage/past phone warranty coverage insurance. All costs $100. Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

I wish Verizon would adopt the data rollover. I pay for 4GB.
 
T-Mobile
2 lines unlimited everything
$100

I was going to use the other line for my home ISP, but I'm literally one block away from getting good reception from my house (I only get HSPA+ 5Mbps). Currently toying with the luxury idea of getting a nice samsung tablet with a sim card slot or possibly giving the other line to my GF.

Edit: I got my first bill. With taxes it came out to $119.

Cricket...$45/mo for unlimited text/talk and 5gb 4G data...capped after that. Their 10gb plan is $55.

I switched from Sprint SERO. I hated my sprint coverage when I was in DC, then moved to PA and work in Ohio now, so lots of driving, and the AT&T coverage is superior by miles over what sprint was for me. I don't miss my SERO plan in the least. I'll never go back to Sprint after switching, now that I see what true data speeds are like, always felt throttled on Sprint.

edit: forgot to add, Cricket is throttled in general. Their LTE speeds AT&T throttles down to like 8mb/s, and 3G+ (HSPA) is at like 4mb/s. Even throttled, its so much faster than Sprint LTE was for me in DC and Western PA.

I am with Koodo. I pay $72.64 a month after tax. I get unlimited calling at any time in Canada, voicemail, caller ID, 2GB of data and unlimited texting.
 
I pay too much but whatever

Verizon More Everything Plan
2 lines (a Galaxy S5 and LG G3)
Unlimited minutes / text
10GB data
~$160 / month

which is actually a savings from the previous plan i had with them (700 minutes, 2gb on one, unltd. data other).

In my area, Verizon has by far the best coverage. I don't mind paying for the peace of mind to go anywhere and feel confident that my calls are going to work. When the in-laws visit, they basically have to turn their phones off / use wifi only.

It does make me a bit grumpy though when i see other plans with other carriers that are so much cheaper for same or better.
 
I'm on the AT&T unlimited data/unlimited text plan they no longer offer but keep grandfathering. I only have 500 voice minutes, but I have like 10 years of rollover minutes and I barely ever use 'em anyway. $74 a month.
 
Local/international minutes: 50/0
Data allowance: 2GB data (throttling after that).
How much you pay per month: 10€ (~$11.8 with current exchange ratio).

Sorry, you didn't specify US only :p.

I have the T-Mo one and I couldn't be happier with it. That said, I'm antisocial and don't talk on the phone at all so 100min is plenty for me. Most people probably need more. Also I live in Hawaii where it's a small island and everywhere is covered. When I travel my coverage is usually pretty bad unless I'm in a major metropolitan area. T-Mo coverage is improving though.
 
T-Mobile Simple Choice: Unlimited Talk/Text + Unlimited 4G LTE

$70 per month.

Truth be told, this plan is overkill as I'm usually on WiFi 95% of the time. :p

I was all set to move to Cricket at the beginning of 2015, but decided to stick with T-Mo for now.

$105 before taxes, just about $119 with tax per month.

New plans are $125/ month for the same thing...
 
Unlimited Data Plan from Verizon with 1400 voice minutes, last time I checked it was around 140.
 
T-Mobile $30 plan, it's just the best I've ever encountered for that crazy low price and I sure hope they don't get rid of it anytime soon as I've been using it for 2+ years now and I keep thinking sooner or later they're going to dump it. I don't make a lot of phone calls so I never actually touch the 100 mins of talk time - in the past I used Talkatone + Google Voice for all "phone" calls using VoIP but now I use Google Hangouts, does exactly the same thing and works just as well if not even better in most respects.

They just announced a few hours ago some new thing called "Simply Prepaid" and it's crappy as expected:

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news/simply-prepaid.htm

In the fine print there it shows "Max speed of 8Mbps available to plan allotment; then slowed to up to 128K for rest of account cycle. No tethering. Data Stash, Simple Global, Music Freedom & other Simple Choice features not included."

So in other words, even if you connect with HSPA+ (up to 42Mbps) or LTE (about the same or higher) you're still going to be capped at ~8Mbps... don't have such issues on the $30 plan, ever.

And those plans start at $40, geez. I've never used the full 5GB on my plan and don't have intentions to since I'm on Wi-Fi so much but, it's nice to know that when I'm not I've got that much if needed.

The other benefit on this $30 plan is that Music Freedom does work. I listened to music off my Google Play Music account yesterday for close to 9 hours (my G2's internal mobile data counter shows nearly 700MB of data for the Play Music app just from yesterday) and not one byte of that counts against my 5GB and it was HSPA+ the whole time... how awesome is that? :D
 
Some people need more than 100 minutes a month and don't need as much data.
 
Straight Talk on the AT&T 4G LTE network with my LG G3 D850.

Local/international minutes: unlimited national
Data allowance: 3GB at 4G LTE, unlimited at throttled 2G/3G speeds
How much you pay per month: $49.56 after all taxes, fees, surcharges
 
- Tele Finland (Sonera)
- 100 min (inc. video call)
- 100 sms/mms
- 50 Mbit 4G (10 GB data cap)
- 13,40 €/month.
- If I want to surf full speed after reaching the data cap I can fully unlock it for that month for 2 €. I've never used that 10 GB yet though and that 2 € is hardly anything. I hardly talk and 100 text messages are plenty for me so this works well. 5000 min and unlimited sms/mms version would be 25 €/month which would be better deal if I would actually talk and text more.

I'm on Ting. Nuff said. I'd like to perhaps move to Simple or something similar to get unlimited everything at some point though. I don't really have a cool enough phone or enough income to justify that move yet though.
