$75/line then? Does that include phone payments as well or just the access and line fees.
Just to provide an update to this since Verizon has updated their plans; I am now at $150 per month. It breaks down as follows:
Verizon "L" plan with 8GB of data: $70
4 Lines: $80 ($20 per line)
I added this option when Verizon offered 2GB of bonus data for life per line. So basically it's the same plan I had before, but $10 less and carryover data. This last month I had 27GB of data so this plan saves me $10 per month and I get more data.
I tend to keep on top of these types of things, but I kind of feel like I missed out there. I didn't want to go to the new Verizon plans as the line fee on those is $20 vs. the $15 that I have on the older more everything plan, but somehow I didn't realize that you could switch and get 2 GB of bonus data per line even if you aren't adding a line or upgrading (the language of that promotion made it seem like it only applied to lines that were being added or were being upgraded), in which case I could have done what you did and gotten a bit more data and saved a few dollars (in addition to having carryover data).
That's everything after all is said and done. It's my new regular monthly bill. My current bill is higher with the fees associated with the unlimited. But that's just one time. That's $393. After that it goes to $308 a month.
300 minutes or sms + 1GB data (3G or 4G) for 11 euros per month.
I bought my iPhone 5s second hand so monthly costs are only for the subscription.
As soon as my iPhone 5s dies I would switch over to a new SE because of form factor and speed.

Not really. Lol. But I get your point. I like keeping my bill low but also maximizing value. I do my research so I can get the very best deal.
What's your usage like? Your wife's? AT&T GoPhone has a 6 GB plan for $45. Or 2 lines on Cricket (AT&T network, AT&T owner) for $70 with 3 GB per line - taxes and fees included. Taxes and fees are a lot less on GoPhone. With CallingMart discount codes, you can eliminate the tax and pay $1 or 2 less than the plan itself.
I'm paying $124.00 including fees per month for 4 lines (2 iPhone 6S plus and 2 iPhone7) on TMobile's ONE plan (Unlimited Data, Text, Minutes, Tethering) with Insider hookup discount of 20% (off of $180) and $20 off for Autopay. Previous month I was paying over $230 on AT&T with a 20% FAN discount for two unlimited lines and two lines with 5G data. Got to love competition!

What a bizarre amount of money do people spend on their phone subscriptions in the US. But I've also seen similar expensive prices for cable/satellite tv/internet so that's probably normal then for you guys.
Mobile phone bill:
300 minutes or sms + 1GB data (3G or 4G) for 11 euros per month. I must say I bought my phone 2nd hand, but will probably by the SE later this year or next year new (without a subscription connected to it).
Home internet/tv bill:
I spend 42.50 euro a month for internet + tv (30+ HD / 70+SD and 90+ radio) + phone (home) with unlimited data and 50Mbps down/up (glassfiber)

Sprint, everything unlimited, no caps, HD 1080p video, 10g hotspot, two lines, two iPhone 7's, $132 a month, that's total with added fees/etc.
Signed up to the unlimited data plan on VZW and with paperless billing they were suppose to take $5 off the bill. Got my bill today, and they left that off. So with taxes, etc, it should have been around $89. I was charged $94. Gave them a call, and they gave me a credit and readjusted future billing. Double check your bill. Even though you are suppose to get the $5 discount, it may never have been applied.

You also have a higher tax rate and a 21% VAT. In the end, the costs are probably fairly similar.

Tmobile One Unlimited with hookup from a buddy and auto pay comes out to $56 a month
About to add a second line which will make it to $80 or $40 per personCouldn't be any happier with Tmobile.
Same couldn't be happier as well with switching to T-Mobile and getting 3 lines for $100 and with the Hookup 20% off its $80 month total! Even lower with kickback possibly $60 a month for 3lines crazy !! T-Mobile can't be beat on Price
I have 2 bills, one with AT&T and one with T-Mobile. 8 lines with AT&T with 40GB and 3 iPhone 7 on payment runs me $350 a month. 40GB wasn't enough so I opened up 3 lines with T-Mobile for $100 during their recent promo and with hookup and kickback possibly as low as $50 a month. Some reason my free line gets kickback.
[doublepost=1489791610][/doublepost]Did you get your first usage bill? I think the free line doesn't get kickback. I did turn on the option for all 3 lines so I have to see after my bill is finalized with usage. The free line and hookup and kickback will be applied on my first usage bill according to the TMobile reps.
Mine is now $308 for 4 lines Verizon unlimited everything. 2 iPhone 7 on payment, one Note 5 on payment and my 6s Plus still on 2 year contract.
Previously with VZW....switched to Tmo and never been happier!!!
T-Mobile 1 Unlimited Everything plan (3 lines) for $60 (signed up for 3rd line free promo + received TWO 20% "hookup" discounts for life. They applied 2 codes by accident so I received an extra $20 off each month, lol).
All 3 phones paid off. Here in the LA area, T-Mobile works great so Verizon can go suck a **** with their absurd pricing.
