I hear ya brother!!!

I was talking to my mom who was telling me she didnt know how we do it (the wife and I raising the kid today) off a single income...

when my parents had me, and raised me.

We had NO cell phones. just a lan line that was like 5 bucks a month. water was free (well) we could hand pump it, but did have an electric pump to the house.

electric bills were 30 bucks a month. NO internet. NO cable TV. people actually went outside or watched movies.

insurance costs were nill... Gas was 89 cents a gallon (started to get pricey according to mom and dad) and the house payment and land payment was 400 or 500 a month... basically you could live for 600 bucks a month or less. and still buy beer and gas...

try that today...

I get an LEO discount of 15% at Sprint. They might also give Millitary. I would ask. And I agree its ridiculous the amount of money it cost to live these days.

I dropped my number of minutes to save money. What I didn't realize, until the AT&T rep told me, is that all calls to a a cell phone are free. Only calls to a landline come off your minutes. I run a construction business with 700 minutes share with the wife and never go over. Bill for two iPhones with unlimited access runs $177.00 per month.

I feel your pain and I actually posted a thread for this exact same thing a while back. After all the research and feedback, I came to the conclusion that NO, there is nothing out there that is significantly less expensive and we are basically hosed.

Sorry...

Verizon does the same for teachers as well. I'm paying 60 dollars less a month than I was paying with AT&T. can't beat that with a bat!

I just got off the phone with ATT. My wife found out they were charging my account for a blackberry dataplan on a regular old junker phone. $200 credit coming. Watch your bills.

I have 5 phones on my plan and 4 are iPhones. Two have unlimited data, all have unlimited text and 1800 minutes. The other two iPhones have the $15 data plans and I pay $287 a month.
