What is your average cell phone bill?


I don't have a cell phone, but when I did it was a pre-paid cell phone, and there was no monthly fee for it.

What is your cell phones monthly fee if you have one? Average bill? Expense? My pre-paid cell phone use to be refilled with $35 monthly pre-paid cards.

The cards gave it unlimited talk, text, no data. What does your monthly bill cover? What do you get for what you pay? My pre-paid cell phone was a pre-paid smartphone.

I have a senior plan with T Mobile - unlimited everything for $55 month total for my husband and myself, so that's $27.50 pp. I was using Verizon with my corporate phone, which I think offers the best service/coverage, but when I had to start paying myself I got cheap! Verizon couldn't even come close to what I'm getting with T Mobile.

$45 unlimited everything with Straight Talk. Not the best service, but it's inexpensive and does the job.

It's like 150 a month for four phones with unlimited everything.

I have a flip phone (i.e. not smart) with the cheapest Consumer Cellular plan. No texting, 250 minutes/month, doesn't matter whether I initiate the call or I am receiving a call, it counts. Obviously, I don't use the phone much. My monthly bill, including all taxes and fees, is $18.28. International calls would be extra.

This plan would be great for me, I hate phone conversations, texting is way easier

Do they have a plan with a shit ton of texting and very few phone minutes?

My 250 minute plan, plus unlimited text, would be 5 bucks more, that is $20 plus fees/tax. Click on the link in my post above, then click on "plans" for details.

$43.20. US Cellular. Unlimited, terrific service, and a free phone every year to boot. Pretty much the only reasonable service in this remote region of Maine. The other option is Verizon and most of the time the signal bounces off a Canadian tower and then the bill is around a million dollars.

I'd have to ask my wife...I kill the spiders, carry heavy stuff, take out the trash and mow the lawn

I'd bet I pay too damn much though🙄

For the past seven years I had a prepaid phone with ATT's cheapest plan. Ten cents per minute for calls. The minutes I bought didn't roll over, and the cheapest way to do them was to buy $100 at a time. Then they lasted for a full year. I never used them all up, so in essence I was paying $8.33/month for a cell phone I'd occasionally use.

Then, a few months ago, the phone broke. I bought a new one and tried to move the plan over to it, but apparently ATT wants to phase that plan out. They told me I had to pick from one of their newer prepaid plans. So now I'm paying $35/month. That's for unlimited use, so I do use the phone more than I used to, but not much more.
