Verizon
I was paying $140 for my iPhone (unlimited data) and 2 basic lines (don’t ask) with 700 minutes and unlimited text.
Luckily, my husband finally let go of his old phone number (he had a flip phone that he didn’t want to close the line to since he’s had that phone number since he was 12 - his work provides an iPhone for him) and his mother finally joined this century and got a smart phone through target and went off on her own.
I stayed grandfathered into the unlimited data under this plan but I knew I was getting screwed pricewise. Luckily, one day when the other two lines had dropped off I spoke with a Verizon rep and got put into an “unlimited everything” plan for just my iPhone and my bill dropped to $70.
now that I’ve upgraded to the iPhone 12 (from the X) I’m paying $110.00 and will go back to $70 once the 12 is paid off.

Fi user here on iPhone; happy with it primarily for the speed and international use - even if I'm not getting my $'s worth this year because of.. you know..
My phone is paid for and I'm on AT&T Prepaid with unlimited calls and messaging for $45 a month. The data roll-over and I have 11.7GB presently. I haven't been on a contract in at least five or six years.
Completely different setup (Bulgaria, small country in Europe) - less than 50 $
I pay for two phones:
1. Plan 1 - 10 GB mobile data in my country, 8 GB data in roaming, unlimited calls in my country, 200 minutes for calls in roaming
2. Plan 2 - has less data, but everything else is the same

I made the dumb mistake of getting rid of our two iphone 8's and getting 2 iphone 11. One, I hate face ID, only works 50 percent of the time. I have never had an issue with touch ID. two, My phone bill went up 59.00 a month per phone. We are on a special plan with my wifes employer as well. If I kept the 8's, we could have moved to another provider that is online only and saved about 150 bucks a month from our bill before switching to the 11s. The reason I switched to the 11 is that I was having tons of issues with my 8, and it turned out to be a gonked sim card not the phone. Of course they do not tell you this until after making the 2000 dollar sale.
As for our plan,
20gb data each device. So thats 20 for my phone, 20gb for my wife's phone, 20 for my samsung LTE tablet, 20gb for my ipad 6, 20 for my son's Ipad 5 , 20gb for my apple watch and 20gb for my wife's apple watch. ALL pooled together.
unlimited nation wide calling text etc...
we do not pay a connection fee or data fees for our other devices. We only pay for our phones and service for those.

174 a month for 4 unlimited everything Verizon lines. Not sure necessarily what any bill has to do with iPhones? No such thing as an iPhone bill....mine would be the same if I had droid or google phones.
I am guessing that they figured that 99 percent of people here would be using iPhones and not other devices.
Yeah I should have answered zero as I pay cash for my phones so I have no monthly iPhone bill.
It's disgusting what people pay for data compared to us in Canada. I have 65 dollars a month for the first line with 20gb of data and nationwide unlimited talk and text, and the next line is 75 dollars a month. This is a deal too with my wife's empolyer plan. BRUTAL. I see 17 euros for unlimited 5g etc and i just shake my head.
That's without the phone payout added to those. That's another 37 a month per phone. NEVER again am I doing that. Pay for them up front and be done.

T-Mobile here. Just switched from Verizon a month ago. $110/month for 2 lines and 2 iPads, 55 Magenta+ plan. Unlimited data, calls, etc on the phones.
It's crazy. Canadians get shafted. I've said for years that the federal government needs to step in and regulate it because the big 3 have a monopoly and basically hold the rest of the country hostage. There is no reason we should be paying what we pay... and always bring your own phone no matter who you deal with. When they regulated away the required contracts the companies really went crazy with phone prices.
