Subject: Cell Plans - Pitting One Against Another ? My wife and I have been with AT&T/Cingular since 2004. The first line is $60 and has 800 minutes. The second line splits those minutes, and costs an extra $10 more - $70 total. We added unlimited texting for $30 because we always went WAY over our texting limit. (We probably send 250+ texts per month... each! ) So we're up to $100 a month. With taxes and such, we're up to about $112. At that high of a rate, we still don't have Internet. I've looked at Sprint and seen that they have an Everything Data plan for $130 that includes 1500 minutes for the two lines, unlimited texting and unlimited Internet. While this is a great plan and a great rate, we'd really rather stay with AT&T. So has anyone ever had luck calling their current provider to say, "I can get this deal through this other provider" and had luck getting a matching deal? -Joel PS - The big thing keeping us from switching is that we'd have to pay for new phones ($80 for a Palm Pre, and probably $80 for a new Blackberry ), plus $36 per line for activations. That's $160 for the phones and $72 for the activations. So there's $232 that I'd rather not spend. Edited by TXGreyhoundGuy 2010-02-01 9:17 PM
