[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 5596254, member: 14197"] For some reason I assumed that calling plans are the same nationwide, but I am starting to wonder... I have a Verizon family plan with two phones and 400 minutes of calling. My line is primary and my wife's line is secondary and costs only $9.99 for the phone line. The plan has unlimited text and weekend calls, as well as unlimited calling within Verizon network (so I can call my family in CA, both at home and on cell, for free). There are two data plans though, one for each phone - which I feel is double-dipping and I really dislike the practice - but I guess that is standard across the industry. So basically, we never use all our minutes. My family is free, my wife calls her mom in Russia using skype on the phone and that's free (which, with Verizon and Android, you can use the wireless network and 3G, on my iPhone with AT&T you had to use the 3G network), so we're good on minutes. The plan itself with unlimited text and calling for two lines comes out to like $79 or two phones. It's the two data plans that suck. My boss pays for my phone and the data plan, and we pay for my wife's $9.99 and her data plan. Yes.... even here in Cary (Raleigh/Durham region), I live near a bunch of big corporate campuses like NetApp, Cisco, AT&T, BofA, the EPA, and major biotech and pharma firms. So in our area, you have a lot of techies and lots of phones and not enough cell towers to support them all. I dumped AT&T after my contract ended and went back to Verizon who I had been with for 7 years prior, when I lived in SoCal. [/QUOTE]
