If you have family texting, data on a non-smart phone is 10$. If you do have a smart phone, it's 30$ per phone.
I'm really frustrated with AT&T right now. Their basic packages are really crappy.
Kari wants me to take my phone line off her account. Fine, I understand that. But to put my phone on its own line, is gonna cost me nearly as much as the current plan with four phone lines. They don't make packages for solo customers... it's all about the "family plan". If I don't "transfer" the line, then she'd be charged for cancelling the line on a contract. Since I just upgraded in December, it won't end for 2 more years.
My phone is a smart phone, so automatically 30$ for data. 20$ for unlimited texting (I have nearly 4000 messages in just 7 days into the billing cycle). I barely use a couple hundred minutes a month. Most my calls are mobile to mobile or nights and weekends. But the cheapest plan is like 400 daytime mins, 5000 n&w mins, and free mobile to mobile for 40$. So I'm looking at a 100$ for one phone line, and currently, it's 150 for four lines (or about 40$ for my line).
Sorry... I just spoke with them tonight and it's really aggreviating.
Kari just upgraded hers to a Sony. Not sure which model, but it has a cybershot camera on it. She really enjoys it and likes the texting on it, and it's not a smart phone. She's usually hard on cameras, so wait about 6 months and I'll tell you how well it's held up.
