cell phone provider recs needed
Both FH's and my cell phone plans expire very soon. To save money, we want to get a family plan and basically I want to spend the least money possible.
We use our cell phones very little... between the two of us we probably need 400 minutes and 50-100 texts per month. I know, weird, but we use our office phones during the day so our cells don't get much use.
Would you recommend your cell provider? He has ATT, which looks like it will be about $65+tax per month. I have Sprint, and it will be $70ish+tax. For how little I use my phone, I think I should pay less than that!

It might be worth looking into using a track phone. I think my dad's has 100 minutes a month, with overage being like..10 cents a minute. For $100/ year. You might be able to get a good deal that way.

Is that the pre-payed deal? I'm seriously thinking about it! I know it has a "ghetto" reputation but it might be a good deal for me...
I'm thinking of going to one when my Sprint contact runs out. I don't talk on my cell much anymore and even if I go over minutes, paying $500 a year is a lot less than paying $95 a month.

Or you could go for the walmart phone thing (smart talk) or straight talk? it's 45 a month for unlimited talk,text and web. can't really beat that if that is the kind of thing you are looking at and it's sorta like a pre-pay but they have good/nice phones.
I always recommend tmobile.
edit- tmobile has a plan for 300 minutes, free nights and weekends for 29.99. and you can add 300 texts a month for about 7 dollars extra. (or pay 40 cents a text in and out). This could be a good option. Again this is for a single line.
Using your phones very little is probably not a good thing for a family plan at least not with Tmobile.

In all cases - unless this has changed since I used them and I don't think it would have - Verizon-to-Verizon calls don't take away from your minutes at all, and the unlimited texting even applies when you text non-Verizon numbers.
Their minutes don't roll over, but for me that was far outweighed by the rest of the plan.
We have great coverage - we travel back and forth between Ohio and Georgia a lot.
