I would first call Retentions department, you can reach them by calling 611 and choosing the option to cancel your line.

You can have them upgrade your 15GB to 20GB, still for the same price. And also add the Canada Roaming Bonus, and Mexico Roaming. So that's a few more data allowance for you and added roaming features.

Not a lot I know about reducing your bill anymore without compromising your data allowance with AT&T, unless T-Mobile does the 2 lines for $100 unlimited data promo again and you're willing to switch.

I really really appreciate your time and help, thank you!

I would for sure not have done that..you will regret itforever. .unbundled att unlimited data is gone forever... now you will always have to watch your data usage and if you get a rogue app downloading massive data overnight then you will pay overages.....you should have retentions switch your acct back to what u had...they have 60 days adter u switched it to switch it back. Then call few times and ask for couple thousand bonus rollover minutes if they say no to that then make sure your number is the primary. Then switch your wife to cricket ...for 35 after auto pay. Unlimited talk and text ..then you switch yor line to the 29.99 grandfathered 300 minute individual rollover plan. 10 buck unl text. And 35 buck unlimited data. yors will be about 70 total. Wifes will be 35 total. Ucan always get capped data plan but u never will be able to get unbundled unlimited att data again.u may not be using much data now but u will in future 5g is coming

He's already done it, and he seems ok with it. Why bother with a paragraph of projection? You aren't him, and I'm not you, and that's OK.

Ha ha...thanks for answering. That was pretty much going to be my reply. Will I regret it? Hell...I don't know and yardman certainly doesn't know. There will always be options in the future...and if that involves jumping ship from ATT then so be it.
 
My Verizon bill is $200/month for unlimited minutes, text, data and tethering. I guess I really need to consider something else. Problem is, can't get as fast of data anywhere else around here and I use 40-50gb a month

That's the thing, these comparisons aren't usually oranges to oranges. I can't live on 5 or 10GB a month like many here do (because they also pay for cable tv/internet, so they consider their home wifi to be "free" data, which of course it isn't). And I get 50mbps LTE speeds all the time, right up to my 60GB cap. Many people are ok with being throttled down to dial-up speeds on so-called "unlimited" data plans.

So I don't know, $200 to $300 for a family plan seems about right.

Yeah I hear that... Problem is LTE on phone way faster than wifi at home so never use it. Mine is $200 for just me though is problem 1 line
 
I've got three lines with T-Mobile:

Base plan: Simple Choice North America
(Unlimited calling/texts, 2GB of LTE data included per phone, unlimited intl. roaming at 128 Kbps, LTE roaming in Canada and Mexico)
$80

Line 1: Mom's iPhone 6s ($0)

Line 2: My iPhone 6s Plus (+$30 for unlimited data)

Line 3: My iPad Pro (+$30 for device payment, +$10 for 5GB LTE data)

Total: $150

Extremely happy with the coverage, data speeds blow AT&T and Verizon out of the water. VoLTE and HD calling have me super-pampered when calling my mom and other family members on T-Mobile, although T and VZ are rolling it out as well.
 
Just over $600/month but it should be dropping below this in the $500-550 range.

I have an 80GB dataplan + 10 iPhones on AT&T.
 
My Verizon Bill is 219.00 and my plan is Unlimited talk, text and 10GB shared data for 3 lines and 2 of my lines are on edge, my bill will go up again once my last line goes on edge but I do get a 24.99 credit for each line that is on edge so do get the phone at a discount.

What speeds are you getting? You have Ookla Speedtest?

Yep. Here are my most recent tests over LTE.

http://speedtest.net/my-result/i/1570259071

RootMetrics awarded T-Mobile as best carrier in my region. Easy to see why. I don't have a VZW phone on hand, but my dad has Verizon. Fastest I've been able to pull on his Note5 is around 35 Mbps most times of day... close to 50 a handful of times at off-peak times.

T-Mobile is a constant 50+. I've never had a single dropped call in the 11 months I've been with them, and my calls connect crazy fast. When I call another T-Mo customer, their phone rings before I hear the usual ringing when you're calling someone.

The question is, as more people migrate to T-Mobile... will data speeds drop? I think no, as all of their cell sites in my area have at least 100 Mbps fibre backhaul, and I know this is true as I have the email address of somebody in Executive support who verified this with engineering.

When I'm in Detroit for NAIAS in January with thousands of people in Cobo Hall... my data speeds are still blisteringly fast.

But, if they do ever get slow in Detroit... I can just flip over to a Canadian carrier for free and use Bell's super-fast LTE. :p

OK, those are impressive numbers. You're really lucky. I wonder if t-mo here in NYC is just as fast. Somehow I doubt it.

I had t-mobile back in the flip phone days when they first came to the states, and it was a miserable relationship. I understand things can change.

NYC is one of T-Mobile's most advanced and best markets. You *have* to try them today. They have a massive store in Times Square now, I think.

T-Mobile was awful up until about two years ago. In my area, they were nothing but miserable EDGE (2G).

The fact that in two years they went from being easily the worst carrier in the USA to now nearly rivaling AT&T, the second largest carrier and #1 largest GSM carrier in the country is astonishing.

There are people who run an awesome community on Reddit for T-Mobile. It's at reddit.com/r/tmobile.

People are seeing absolutely blistering speeds in NYC, we're talking 150+ Mbps.

If you want to try them out, definitely make sure you've got a Band 12 capable device. Band 12 is 700 MHz airwaves.. which is what Verizon uses to get their great coverage. If you're using an iPhone, that would be a 6s or 6s Plus.

If you go to Best Buy, you can buy a SIM card for $4.99. You don't even have to activate it. You will be able to check coverage and use the Speedtest app on an unactivated SIM, it's a great way to check coverage. :)

Verizon.

Amazing service and unlimited data and I have no issues paying for it.

I cannot tolerate having calls drop. I cannot tolerate not having LTE at all times. I cannot tolerate having slow LTE speeds.

With my carrier I do not have to tolerate any of this. Like I said, I have no issues paying as much as I do.
 
AT&T

unlimited talk, text
unlimited data (grandfathered UDP plans from years ago, used to be $30, recently raised to $35)

As of February 2017, this T-Mobile prepaid plan is currently $32.53/month in Santa Clara County, California.

One thing nice about this plan is that there are no additional fees. I didn't pay an activation fee and when I get a new iPhone, I just insert the SIM into the new device and carry on my merry way (no update/transfer fees). I think T-Mobile even exchanged an old micro SIM for a nano SIM without charging me.

10.99€ is USD $11.62 at current exchange rates, an excellent value compared to cellular service in the USA.
