The phones from Tracfone are also cheap, starting from $10. The phone I got is the Motorola W376 and it has internet, radio games...it's awesome. I'm so glad I made the switch from AT&T because if not, I'd be paying $99 a month for unlimited. That's so expensive!</p> I have the Straighttalk plan from Tracfone that has unlimited texts AND minutes for only $45 a month. The phones from Tracfone are also cheap, starting from $10.

They act like they're getting such a great deal or something. Reality check: Your phone only works in a VERY limited area. For those of us who want a phone that will work if we go on a road trip, out of town, or to the next city over, we choose a real cell phone company. Metro's unlimited is $55 per month, the phones suck and the coverage is even worse. AT&T is $99 per month and you get coverage literally EVERYWHERE, not to mention awesome phones like the iPhone 3G that do just about everything but... well... you know, lol. And I bet they're working on an app for that anyway! -Prada</p> Why do people keep comparing MetroPCS and all of these other little phone companies to AT&T & Verizon?

He pays $54 a month, every month. When he falls behind on payment, they turn his phone off. All he has to do is send them the $54 payment and they turn it back on. He's not charge anything for them to turn it back on. All he had to do was pay for his phone. This is what all cell phone companies should offer.</p> My brother has Metro PCS with unlimited calling, texting, internet access, long distance etc. with no contract.

As a Sprint customer, we've "been there, done that" with unlimited plans. Sadly, though, admitting I'm a Sprint customer is like admitting I enjoy having a steel pole rammed through my loins.</p> Yep.

I'd think it takes about 100 SMS to equal 1 MOU, in terms of resources. Why unlimited SMS cost > $5 as a bolt-on is beyond me.</p> It amuses me how much carriers charge for SMS (especially a la carte) when it is by far the least resource intensive service they offer.

For those of us in the corporate / professional world who own a Blackberry (corporate account) and unlimited data, it still is an arm and a leg.

I currently pay that much for 1400 minutes ($89.99) + Blackberry Enterprise ($44.99) and 1500 SMS message ($19.99) = $154.97

So I get a $9.98 savings!

Because it is “unlimited”… Most users choose a plan that they know they will average the X amount of minutes. So unlimited won’t make someone talk more.

When will ATTT come out with a package for corporate professionals for a flat $100.00 per month? I would gladly pay that no questions asked!
