So far, I think I'm in the lead for least expensive mobile device bill, at around $17.34 per phone on my (wife's) plan. 

I don't text or have data, and really, I haven't ever felt the need to have either, and we don't usually use more than 300 of our 550 minutes per month.  I guess the Chaderbox family is just extra odd.

I just looked at my bill.  Fricken $110 in taxes/fees.  Oh and dam, my 12 year old daughter sent 2500 text messages last month...

Come to Canada and soon you'll be begging for the cell phone prices you have right now.

We have some of the most expensive cell phone rates in the world, it's absurd.

But you guys have The Hip, so it all evens out.
