Basically with smart phones, you have more accessibility to different apps and direct access to you email and such
Jeesh, show ends and everyone takes off.
Think I'd get banned if I said I'm listening to Ellis now?

Really? Is that an older plan that you were grandfathered into?
I have Verizon too and I didn't know that was an option. I'd love that.
It might not be an option anymore. It also depends on which plan you have.
This plan was from before alltel verizon thing. I was on alltel. 59.99 for 900 anytime, unlimited nights and weekends. 5.99 for internet data and access. 7.99 for unlimited text and picture text. total bill is usually 90 bucks, because I usually download a couple apps every month.

You could justify it more, if it were something that would help you at work (tax write-off...).
But if you don't think you need all the extras, then go with something more basic.

Unemployment helps getting a big refund; not a avenue I would recommend though.
I am hoping to avoid that.. *fingers crossed *

They will tack it on to your plan and you won't even know til you get the bill, unless you ask them about it upfront. I guess you can go without, but then most of the features on the phone would be worthless.

I've been on that boat for about 3 or 4 months. And no, it's not healthy for the wallet.

I know, that's what I'm debating.
I might just wait until I get back to work.
Chip Wrote:Because I have 900 minutes, but I also use that "Friends and family" thing, so the people I talk to most are on that list, who I can to talk to unlimited. And I hardly use any of my 900 minutes. But If I drop down to 450 and lose the friends and family, I'd end up using 600 minutes.
So, long story short, I currently have a lot of minutes I'm not using.
Friends and family was one of the greatest things they ever gave us!!! My mom loves to talk and can easily hit 2,000+ minutes a month. She would kill my plan if it weren't for friends and family! I was going to drop down a plan to save money, but I don't think it's a good idea.

I would love it if they offered that on a lower plan.
Even 3 numbers instead of 5, I think I'd still be great with that.

Not a bad idea. Like I said, then your phone becomes a tax deduction, because you could put your work email on it. (Or at least claim that) ;-)

I have the 10 slots to fill and I only have 9 filled. Most of my connections are already with Verizon. But he had Nextel, so I had to put his people on there and Mom has all her friends home phones that she calls.
hock: tmi? :? Just put some anti-itch ointment on it.
