That answers my other question (Sprint? in Atlanta? You can do better). Verizon has an "unlimited" plan for $40 but I think it has some throttling in it. The truly unlimited plan is $60.

looks like that $60 is per line with 4 lines.

looks like the good unlimited plan for me would be $90/mo + the phone.

Agh! I was doing it off the top of my head, so that makes sense. Verizon is definitely not the cheapest, that's for sure.

fml.

I have a Samsung 4s. I'll replace it when it no longer works. Seems phones went from Free with a 2 year plan, to $1000. WTF?

A phone in a pocket that sucks... Now that's an intriguing thought/upgrade.

so much this. people used to cry about contracts. to me it didn't matter because I was always going to have a phone. so a contrct to get the phone for cheap was an awesome deal. now you either have to lease the phone which is like having a contract anyways or buy it outright and shell out $1K.

I might end up switching to Verizon. if I lease a phone it's only a few bucks cheaper to stay with Sprint and the network SUCKS!.

Not that bad. Not much snow. I'm looking forward to having a ski resort 27 miles away, and a senior season pass is $200. And I do want to try ice fishing.

Snow is fine. It is the crap between the snowfalls that sucks. The cold damp days with no sun seen for a week or more.
