Who Else Here Is Shutting Off Their Cell (contract) Phones??? Are You Going To PrePaid??
Our Cell bills with new data and add on fees for 4
2 with out data plans
1 G2 & data
1 BB & data

went to 387 with tax and add on fees ..
before it has been 236

This(imho) is not worth it ...

We have been with the carrier for 8yrs

Considering walking away, we told them to canx data plans and features ..they said those 2 phones will not work without data

we asked to downgrade the 2 phones and get us 2 phones that do not require $100 worth of data..they said NOPE we can not downgrade only upgrade or pay 250.00 per line to canx and do new contracts


Has any one else experienced this same type of situation???

I pay $80 a month with unlimited data. With tax and fees I'm still under$100.

That's definitely not worth it.

Think about it for a second. 400/mo for a phone bill? WoW!

I cancelled my monthly service back in Sept and got a prepaid cell and magicjack. Works great for me

I never bought a cellphone. I have never been the kind of person to go and buy the latest tech toy just because everyone else is. I don't need one. I don't want one. I don't have one. Instead, I have peace.

Here too, It was hard to get the teens to accept it but they are not working, because of age and when they get a job they can pay for their own phone. That was a big leakage in our finances. Called the cable company and got a discount for a different bundle. With food and gas going up I doubt we'll see that much of a dramatic increase in left over cash...

Everybody I know that has a cell phone has to continually check their messages and text. Some of them I stopped hanging around because of it. If you can't leave the phone alone long enough to have a meal with someone you should just stay home and deal with it. Totally irritating.

Yeah, I had verizon too with the internet and all that, but I just thought that paying 80/month was stupid for how much I use the phone. Plus, I have internet at home and work...so I don't need it on my phone...too much internet.

The thing that made me quit was that I wanted to cancel internet on my phone and just keep the plan and they wouldn't let me.

Now if you get a nice new phone you HAVE to get internet. Not cool.

Damn right...only Verizon is sucking them in with a 'cheap' (yeah right) 1 yr. deal. I can only imagine how high it goes up after that. Sorta like their FiOS bullshit.

++++++++++++11111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Agree with you 100%%%%. People that use these cell phones are products of enviromental mind control. People are so easy lead and controled...so uncentered!

Also, we the world last a few more years I bet those suckers that use these cell phines are going to have host of illnesses on account of the phones.
