Someone needs to visit the Verizon Website and upgrade their plan.

Just checked: 12 gigs, three phones $140. Mobile hotspot gizmo another $30.

With ATT we pay $83 a month for two smartphones with 2 gigs-all that we need, unless on vacation.

$30.00 plus tax, or $48.00 a month for two phones. The plan is just for unlimited text and voice, nationwide. We don't need data.

You can get a 250 minutes, 300 texts, 30MB data plan at Consumer Cellular for $17.50, you'd need to replace your phone though, but the monthly savings would cover that before long.

I went with the $30 metropcs plan. I then had to upgrade to the $60 unlimited 4G plan because the dirtbag I temporarily rent a room from stopped paying his cable bill. I had to watch TV on my phone for a few days, after one day of streaming and using almost a gig for the $5 topoff I swtiched to the $60 plan. The wifi is back on but I don't trust the dirtbag to pay his bill next month. So far with the wifi back I only used 128 mb in 10 days so when I move out I"m going back to the $30 plan.

Ring Plus Mobile Michelangelo plan is free and it gives you 1000 minutes and 1000 texts per month (+500 MB of data) for free.
You have to give a credit card and they take $10 plus the agreement that you will auto top up for overage charges.

You must buy a SPRINT phone, but you can get an Android phone for about $40. You're payback is less than one month.

Boost Mobile $30 a month including tax. unlimited talk/text 3gb 4g. If you don't have wi-fi at home try to find a way to get it. If you have access to an AT&T landline you can get DSL for around $20-$25 a month. It's faster and cheaper than paying through the nose for the amount of data you will use if you tether to a laptop - normal usage is about 17-20gb a month. Satellite internet is probably the most expensive option ~ $90 -$115 a month for 20gb.
