    I've read that AT&T has a reliable network and I'd like to know what my monthly payments will look like if I use their services.

    Are you primarily in need of large phone minutes or data kb's, or a blend? You need to work with either AT&T or Verizon if you're running 48 states. Shop them and try and compare apples to apples and what type of phone either will put you into and decide what seems best for you. Either will require 2 year commitment if you don't have a compatible phone to bring over and/or don't want to spend $450 for a new phone to go month to month.

    $260 for 3 lines, unlimited messaging, basically unlimited minutes , also use gobs of internet. If I didn't use so much internet the bill would be about $180

    By 3 lines you mean 3 different phones, correct? How much do you think the bill would be if it was just one phone?

    Preciate the advice. I definitely will put a considerable amount of research into this before I commit to any company.

    $270 / mo all in......4 lines / smart phones / unlimited t&t/ 10GB shared / no roll.

    One should tear up $100. No discount for flying solo.......

    ( and a short rant ) They have started nickle and diming me to death with bogus charges. I now have to hawk eye the bill every month..... and I hate that! Sprint used to do that and I fired their arse....... I'm fixing to show another one the door!

    I pay $120 a month for unlimited ( the old grandfathered in unlimited ) on ATT with the new Iphone. The best way to go if possible would be to find someone in your family that perhaps has ATT or Verizon already and "add a line" - seems to be the most economical way to go from what I have researched if that is an option for you.

    Let me begin by saying that I have a bias about AT&T. I hate them just so you know.

    I was a customer of theirs for 5 years happy with the coverage, quality, etc. but the billing was ridiculous. I spent about 4 hours per year on the phone with their billing department correcting problems with my bill. I had 2 phones with 550 minutes / month, text, and unlimited data for about $130 per month. Then they changed the plans at renewal and limited the data to some smaller but manageable amount and the problems with the billing persisted. Finally, in January after 2 hours on the phone trying to get $50 of charges removed from my bill I gave up. My sanity and time were worth more to me than the hassle of changing phone companies. I did some research and found that StraightTalk offered by Walmart uses the AT&T network offering phone service for $245 per year for unlimited everything - they also offer a monthly plan for $45 unlimited everything. Again, The service is reselling AT&T network cell service at a significant discount - if you check online you'll find that their customer service is terrible. But, I can attest to the quality of the service, coverage, etc. AND the phone I was using with AT&T worked seamlessly with StraightTalk.

    Take it for what it's worth but I'd run from AT&T - the cost of the service is NOT worth what they charge.

    Note: Your cell phone MUST be unlocked in order to use the StraighTalk Internet access. My phones were locked but I paid $5 to get the unlock code from AT&T. When I buy new phones I will get "factory unlocked" phones to ensure that the Internet functions on the StraightTalk data.

    Sounds like a nightmare man thanks for sharing. I probably will try Straight Talk first and then move to ATT/Sprint/Verizon if necessary.
