SAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS
- Family of four
- Two smart phones, two basic phones
With Verizon Wireless, you will pay $40 per smart phone, $30 per basic phone, per month, and $60 a month for 2 gigabytes of shared data. Minutes and txts are unlimited.
That's $40 + $40 + $30 + $30 + $60 = $200
(smart phone + smart phone + basic phone + basic phone + data)With AT&T, you have several options - 450 minutes for $39.99 / mo, 900 minutes for $59.99 / mo, or unlimited for $69.99 a month. You can also do a family share plan for anywhere from 550 minutes to unlimited (for a cost of $59.99 to $ 119.99) / month. Each additional phone is $9.99. Using the middle of the road plan, the medium, if you will of 1400 minutes shared, you'd be looking at $89.99 + $40 + $40 + $40 for just done gigabyte of data - or a total cost of $209.99 a month .
(AT&T was notoriously complicated to calculate ; double check your own math)Using GHz Cellular - smart phones are $60 for the first phone, $55 for every phone there after, and include 2 gig of data. Basic Phones are $39.95 for unlimited talk and text, and even less expensive if you do not need unlimited service.
That's $60 + $55 + $35 + $35 = $185 - and each phone has it's OWN 2 gig data plan.
THE COMPARISON
Our Verizon bills were as follows for the last several months:

$211.15
$216.15
$216.15
$215.99
$215.99
$279.03 (with late fees)After moving to GHz Cellular, our two smart phones and two basic phones (our basic phones do not need unlimited minutes) will cost:
Smart phone #1 - $60 (unlimited minutes / 2 gb data)
Smart phone #2 - $55 (unlimited minutes / 2 gb data)
basic phone - $35 (1200 minutes)
basic phone - $35 (1200 minutes)
Total: $185
