Unlimited Cell Phone PlanMost providers are now offering
unlimited talk plans for $99.99 per month. While the plans offer
convenience and peace of mind, they will also save you a TON OF MONEY!!
That's because with a little consumer planning effort and discipline consumers can maximize Verizon< and national,no-roaming-fee, no-long-distance-charge plans that cost $60 a month.Those plans ostensibly sell you 900 anytime minutes per month, but both also give you unlimited nights and weekends. With Verizon's "national feature, there's also no charge for calls anytime of the day to some 64million other Verizon Cell Phone Plan customers.AT&T's' version of this is ATT Cell Phone Plan" minutes, and offers free calls anytime to AT&T's more than 70 million customers.
It's pretty much the same deal as AT&T and Verizon's with Alltell plan, except that that carrier's "Alltell Cell Phone Plan Plan" feature also lets you make unlimited free anytime calls to 10 wireless or landline numbers on any network. mobile Cell Phone Plan provides 1,000 whenever minutes, free roaming and long-distance and unlimited nights and weekends; but instead of unlimited minutes to other phones on the
T-Mobile, it gives unlimited "myFaves"minutes to only 5 designated numbers on any network.
So, consumers have two options: the first option is to pay more for the unlimited phone plan, and the other option is to save some money at the cost of planning your phone calls accordingly. Consumers who usually call just a handful of people would probably fare better with the less expensive plan. People who have many friends, or a daytime job that requires frequent cell phone use, would probably get their money's worth from having an actual unlimited plan.
Another thing to remember is that most major cell phone providers offer unlimited free minutes for calls made between phones from their respective companies. This becomes especially useful when families or groups of friends subscribe to the same carriers.
