QQmike:
My TOTAL BILL..........total....... has been $64.23 per month for several years,
Five years ago I traded an S2 that I had made payments on to Verizon to the "telephone repair / used " business and paid $110.00 , the next year I purchased the second phone for $$120.00 cash.
So that would amortize for ABOUT .... $230 / 60 months = about $30.00 per month so for the last five years my cost per month has been $94.00 per month.
The S3 now is down around $50.00 here
So, even if I did now what I did then I would still be about $50.00 per month under your $150.
One caveat is that I purchased the unlimited plan five years ago and it was cheaper then so I called the store, one of the premium ones and the fellow said that I would probably be, NOW in the 1 Gigabyte range for data, but he said that I have never actually USED 1 gigabyte even when I was in Nassau.
He said, that eccctually........... the powers that be really REGRET having sold those unlimited plans when they did, so....
If you can live with one gigabyte then you would be under a hundred a month. even amortizing the cost of TWO phones and the 1 gigabyte plan.
The critical thing on the data plan is how much you will stream video and / or music or play online games while NOT ON WiFi.
I am "on WiFi" almost 100 percent of the time, the times that I am off is when I'm wandering around in Florida on out of the way beaches or off shore, or in Nevada exploring canyons or some other oddball thing.
What is amazing about Florida is that..... quite a few of the dive boats actually have a "portable wi-fi transponder" on board the boat! lol
As I mentioned in the previous post, one should think about just how much of the "stuff" that you would do has been "offloaded away from the phone", how much you will be on WiFi and also whether you actually NEED a brand new phone to play the absolute latest ONLINE game and how many times you will watch a new movie on the phone.
