Cell phone plans...

Total Wireless $25/month (with 5% auto pay and all taxes figured in it’s a bit over $26/month) for unlimited talk and text. I don’t use much data, so when I need it I buy a 5gb card for $10 from Target ($9.50 with my redcard).
 
WOW that is insane for cell phone bills all around. Cricket 3 lines unlimited everything $90/month. Never had any reception issues and have travelled all over the US.
 
Verizon, two phones, 10 GB data to share, $90/month. We paid for our phones outright after the old ones that were on the payment plan couldn’t hold a charge for longer than a few hours.

unlimited talk/text is the standard now for these post paid plans.
 

I have Sprint, 3 phones with unlimited everything. $250 a month. I feel like that's crazy. What does everyone use?
That is insane. I have Verizon, 3 phones + a tablet that's never used, moderate-sized plan with 2 G data, and the bill is $115/month. My adult daughter, who still lives at home pays 1/3 of the bill, and I get a discount on the data because I'm a state employee. We are NOT heavy phone users.

I keep meaning to see if I can't do better.
 
Boost Mobile, unlimited everything, two lines--$80 which includes all taxes. Phones were bought outright.
 
Sprint (now T-Mobile)...
6 lines...all phones are paid in full (bought from BestBuy, not financed through Sprint)
1 Apple Watch (paying over 24 months due to 1/2 off deal....$11.09 credit each month for 24 months)
All of the phones are Unlimited Talk/Text/Data and 5 of the 6 also have 60GB of hotspot data (the other one only has 5GB).
Free Hulu and MLB TV

Total bill is just a touch under $260/month

We have US Cellular, 4 lines for $120/month, unlimited.. We all have S20s, which were free with sign-up. We also have one of our kids on Mint Mobile, since his phone is just for emergencies, etc.

Three phones and an Apple watch from the same deal; I just paid it off a couple months back. ~$145/month
 
T-Mobile Magenta Military plan--5 lines with unlimited text, talk and smartphone data, plus basic 1 screen Netflix for $110/month
 
This is my latest Ting bill with unlimited mins and texts, paying data GB. Pic attached. My husband and DD are grandfathered on old Ting plan for under $30. They pay per everything in buckets on a grandfathered pricing.
I’ve been with them for 5-10 years. DM for referral link if that’s allowed if not, don’t 😂 69CE307C-DE95-4C88-918C-025FECEC4FE1.jpeg
 
In Canada … we have 2 lines on a “bring your own phone plan”, unlimited nation wide talk, text& 3 GB of date for $35 (plus tax) offered by Fido (a division of Rogers).
 
ATT, 7 lines and 1 Apple Watch - $318.14 / mo

$69.58 for my brother in law's line, he is paying installments on his iphone, and I think he also has some sort of insurance plan

Unlimited voice, data, text.

This makes me feel better. We are at 292 with AT&T. 2 phones, 2 ipads 1 car and 1 apple watch on unlimited plan. 1 Ipad and 1 phone are on payments. Includes HBO Max for "free". I have a discount for being a state employee.

Same here, my wife's state employee discount is applied to a portion of it.

What's the breakdown of the bill? I break it down because my extended family sends me the payments for their portion so I have to keep track of it every month.

Sadly I have no idea lol. It's all me, DH and kids. I know my phone is 35.00 and one ipad is 15/mo for the devices. I think the watch is 10/mo. This kills me, but I can't have my cell phone at work with me and I always end up missing calls from kids dr's schools etc.

Understood.

It's definitely been A LOT cheaper than when it was just me and the wife on the bill. I remember it being $160/mo for those 2 lines. Ever since we combined our bill with her parents, her brother, and my friend and his wife, it's $77.88 per month for the two of us. It's unbelievable.
 
Verizon. 4 lines all unlimited. $270 with 3 phones being paid monthly. XH pays $35 for DDs line. Without the monthly phone bills the bill is $180ish. Two phones will be paid off this fall so the bill will be around $200 come October. DS is 21 so if he wants a new phone he can pay for it. And XH will pay for any new phones for DD.
