Carrier How much is your monthly iPhone bill?

[Hal~9000]

T-mobile prepaid plan:

• $15/month
• 2GB of data
• Unlimited talk
• Unlimited text

Data allowance goes up by 500mb every 12-months that you keep the plan, up to a maximum of 4.5GB/mo if you end up keeping the plan for 5+ years.

I have always purchased phone at full retail price before, because I don’t like 2 year contract. However, I was being offered for an iPhone 7 for 0 dollars down and I get keep my current plan with conditions of staying 2 year.

I thought that would be fine, since I have no plan to leave the carrier anytime soon.

50 dollars Canadian per month with Virgin Canada.

- Unlimited national calling and text inside Canada.

- 7GB Data per month

-1000 minutes international call to China, Hong Kong, India etc.

Best part is I get 150 dollars Costco gift card with the activation.

I am super happy with current plan

I am a long term Verizon customer and am thinking of switching to Consumer Cellular. They sent me a no charge AT&T SIM card to test in my iPhone 11. After some carrier & visual voice mail configuration it seems to work well in our area, and their overall price value is better than Verizon. My Question is... For a two phone plan with 3GB of data (unlimited calling & text), what do the average surcharges & fees run (Excluding government mandated fees & taxes, only Consumer Cellular extra fees)? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Larry

I have CC with one 11Pro. My basic fee is $25 for unlimited talk and text and 500MB of data. The extra fees amount to $3.78 for surcharges, taxes and fees. I have a $1.25 discount for AARP membership which makes my total monthly payment $27.53.
I was also on Verizon before and was paying $50.02 so CC is a substantial discount from Verizon.

We have been with Verizon Wireless for a long time going back to the old Pacific Telephone days. Our plan is unlimited minutes, unlimited text, no international, and up to now a total of 4GB of data for two iPhone 11 units. No contract, we own the phones. Starting at the end of the month they will be obliterating our two free GB, and take us down to 2 GB total for the same price. They want me to sign up for auto pay (use auto pay now with CC), and then use either debit card or checking a/c debit to pay. I said no as that would eliminate the free VISA insurance we get now for our two phones for theft, loss (documented) and damage of up to $1200 per year, $600 each phone, $25 deductible. They want to charge us another $20 to get the 2GB (free)back. They are not flexible at all for a long term customer. Planning to go to Consumer Cellular using the AT&T network, testing now; cost is lower. On Verizon we must use 4G LTE Network Extender to get good voice signal at home (live on edge of desert). AT&T does not require an extender, signal good as is.

Anyone here use Consumer Cellular, with the AT&T SIM? Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Larry

No real haggling here in the US. The incentives are mostly device credits. If you don't like those, only real option is to switch to another carrier.

So what is the price you are currently paying ?

 

[Larry Schultz]

So what is the price you are currently paying ?

Have not switched yet, just using CC test SIM card. Estimate at CC would be ~$43/mo plus taxes and fees. With Verizon we pay ~$75/mo (Incl taxes and fees) for substantially similar service

Not iPhone specific.

Telkomsel prepaid
~USD $1.70 a month
2GB data, 150min in network calls, 400SMS in network. Data use is unrestricted, hotspot etc are fine.

 

[imnotlisa]

$16/month for 3 lines, on xfinity mobile (verizon MVNO). Shares 1G of data, or more if we ever needed, which happened one month out of about 36 so far. 2 iphones and one samsung S8.

All phones are configured according to specific owner preference: *everything* that consumes cellular data or power is disabled unless it is directly wanted by the phone owner - this saves power and cellular data usage.

To accomplish an extreme-data-hoarding configuration, it takes some time: Do a "depth first search" or any method of traversing/checking/disabling EVERY setting on the phone, and disable EVERY optional app setting. Concentrate on disabling all non-helpful notifications and Cellular and Cellular-system-services. Disable *everything* with extreme prejudice unless phone owner says they want it specifically enabled.

best regards.

I’m on the Koodo Public Mobile transfer plan at $40CAD/6GB.

Will likely leave Koodo in the near future, as I doubt they plan to have 5G coverage.

The city I live in (Thunder Bay) is kind of in the middle of nowhere, and the local provider TBayTel has a monopoly on equipment here, so if I want the latest and greatest I’ll have to go to them.

 

[orangepeel2014]

VZW, 4 lines. Kids on Start unlimited at $35/mo, me and wife on Play unlimited at $45/mo. 1 device payment. After taxes, fees, device payment, it comes to about $202/mo.

Back before the pandemic, I traveled frequently for work and the hotspot and unlimited data were critical for me, and VZW had the best coverage for where I traveled (used to have Sprint and AT&T - VZW wins hands down). I routinely used 10-15GB per month of data and 5-10GB for mobile hotspot since work recommends that we not use wifi at airports, hotels, coffee shops, etc.

My wife prefers VZW after our crappy experiences with Spring and AT&T and will not change. It also gives her more peace of mind that our kids are on the network she perceives as most reliable, based on our experiences.

£18 a month

I’m currently with T-Mobile and leaning towards switching to Verizon when the iPhone 12’s launch, for better coverage, free Apple Music and a 20% discount with my job. I did a comparison with my current plan and it wouldn’t be any different than what I currently have. The price range is also a few dollars difference.
