    I pay Verizon $120 a month for my cell phone bill. That is with a 23% discount through work. I feel like I'm getting gyped.

    Who do you go through and what do you pay?

    I know T-Mobile has good deals, but are they a good service?

    My company pays everyone's cell bills. We have people on Verizon, AT&T, and TMobile (we had someone on Sprint, but if someone else is paying your bill, why would you stay with Sprint?). Everyone has plenty of minutes and full data. I'd say the bills are $150-170/month depending on overall usage. If you have lots of minutes and good data coverage, your rate seems about right after the 23% discount.

    My girlfriend and I have a 2GB data plan we share together, which costs us about 95$ a month with T-Mobile.

    How do you two like your N5s? I'm loving mine. I had the N4 last year and only upgraded because my mother in law needed a new phone, so I gave her my N4.

    Anyways, on Tmobile, we are under $130 w/ all taxes for unlimited talk/text for 2 smart phones w/ 2.5GB each and 1 flip phone. Since it's Tmobile there is no handset cost built into that price, so that would probably add another $20/each. I haven't used it yet, but we also get free 2G data, free texting and pretty cheap voice rates when traveling abroad. The last 2 times we've gone to Europe we've either bought a phone or a sim, so this will make traveling a lot easier. 2G is slow, but it's free and fast enough to check email and do some light browsing, which is all I'd need.

    I'm surprised somebody as down as yourself actually owns an Android phone........ You wouldn't be caught on a PC would you?

    I'm not a fan of iOS. I like being able to customize my phone. If I don't like something, I change it. The Nexus phones are perfect because they are as close to pure Android as you can get, w/o all the bloatware you get from Samsung/Verizon/etc. There are parts of the iPhone I really like, but for me (not everyone), vanilla Android > iOS. That being said, I just found out yesterday that I'm getting a 5s for work so I'll get a chance to use both every day. Apparently we are dropping blackberry support (not surprising), so I'm swapping out a nearly 4 year old blackberry for a brand new iPhone. Not a bad trade, ha.

    But yeah, I'd never buy a PC. I love Mac, just not iOS.

    I have tried 4 carriers and ONLY V does not drop calls. The others were terrible. So I just pay my V bill and let it go at that. BTW, I get a military discount.
