Who else hardly uses their minutes?

[J0nnD0ugh]

July '08, I finally broke down & got a cell phone. I put my mom on my plan. Combined, we can get 700 minutes per month. Last June, we used 110 total. I don't think we've reached 150 in a month yet.

My current plan gives me 400 minutes a month and I never go over. Prior to that, my plan gave me 250 and I never got close to going over. The only reason I increased my minutes was because 400 was the lowest I could go on Sprint's Everything Plan.

Being in Law Enforcement I have Nextel so I use Direct Connect. Therefore I rarely get close to using all my minutes and Direct Connect is unlimited on my plan.

I rarely use my minutes. Most of the time I use my cellphone for texts during the day, easier for me to keep focus on whatever I'm doing instead of having to talk.

I feel like I'm wasting money. I could get half the minutes & still be overpaying.

Me too. Verizon called me once and tried to get me to bump up my minutes. I told the woman that we never get close to the limit (it was 400 at the time). So she decided to look it up and said "Oh, you average 110 minutes/month. I guess you don't need to bump up your plan."

I have Unlimited Days, Nights & Weekends on my plan.

I have unlimited texts & data, so that's mainly what my phone is used for.

Free nights and weekends, though, I make and receive some calls.

Call and ask them for a custom plan. I have SPrint and they did it for me. I STILL have too many mins though. I am at work until 4-5 and my mins start free at 7

Just don't go to low. If you go too low and go over your minutes you will be kicking yourself.

Re: Who else hardly uses their minutes?

Yeah, I got a good deal that's been about 5 years already, so I pay $39 for 1000 anytime minutes and $5 for unlimited texts. I was texting enough that it was worth the $5, but I only use around 200 minutes in a normal month. I think my record was 500-something. I would reduce it, but many of the smaller plans are still only $5 or so less than what I'm paying, so it's not really worth it since I may end up needing all those minutes at some point.

My wife and I have the family plan and we have 450 minutes on our plan, we never go over.

Re: Who else hardly uses their minutes?

I am in the same boat and my company pays for my bill. I had 900 minuyes and now have 450, but rarely go over 100. I have over 3500 rollover banked up that I will never get close to using.

I spend more time playing brick breaker than I do talking on the phone.

Re: Who else hardly uses their minutes?

I have a family plan with T-Mobile. I put my dad on the plan and between us we have 700 minutes per month. We do not come close to using are mintues either. I use it more on the weekends and during the night which is free so those calls do not take away from our minute total. Also, when I call my dad since he is with the same carrier it does not take away from our total as well.

I have the phone more for emergencies so my dad can get a hold of me if he is not feeling well.

Re: Who else hardly uses their minutes?

I've opted for the Verizon plan that provides the minimal amount of minutes w/ free texting to.

Unless you're a single dude or like talking on the phone like a girl... -or- use your cell for business as well I don't see why anyone would need anything more than 400-700 min/max.
