Too much, absolutely.
It's not just iPhones though, it's any phone with a data plan, that's what makes it expensive. Then add a family that wants unlimited texting, and adds up.
How much are you paying per month for your phone and do you think it's worth it?

I pay about $70 and have unlimited texting on a family plan, but get 20% off.
I use to pay about $65 a month after taxes but I used my mad negotiation skills to reduce my bill to $39/month after taxes.
this is what i pay. i have unlimited data, 200 text
Damn. How in the do y'all do that. Lee, I understand it may be because you have a family plan. Me, I do not and I pay about $100 a month. I'd really like to get that down, short of leaving AT&T all together. Damn, $39?!?! How did you swing that? Did you go crazy on them or what?
iPhone is overrated tbh. It was the basically the first phone of it's kind, but is by no means the best these days.
I've got the HTC evo on Sprint and I pay $70/month, but have unlimited data, text, and calls to any cell phone (not just Sprint network.) The only thing on my plan that is not unlimited is calls to land lines, and get 1500 minutes for those...but who the calls/uses land lines anymore?
$30 a month for unlimited on mine. But I've got 6 phones on my plan.
Waaayyy too much. I have one of those AT&T bull bundle plans. For home phone service (why I still have this I don't know), internet, and 5 cell phones (4 data plans and unlimited texting) I pay $350/month. That's embarrassing to admit
Nah. $70 a pop isn't bad for all that. And, yeah I'd ixnay the landline BUT that may raise your rate.
These mofos are expensive but come in very handy for someone who travels a lot like me
Unless you go overseas. Then the Evo is useless. And the Epic is a better phone.
I get a discount and pay $90 a month. I never come close to my data cap or my anytime minutes as the two people I call most are AT&T customers.
Plus, since I'm at work most of the time, I text more than I talk on the phone.
I'd rather have an Evo than an Epic, as I can type far faster on a touchscreen keyboard on a phone rather than a real one, but neither are even close to being top of the line for Android anymore. The new HTC Thunderbolt is going to blow everything away.
just couldn't resist.
???
I didn't bring up Android in this thread, and I'm not bashing Apple here either. So chill out, homie.
I have sprint and pay with taxes, 271.00 for five phones
Unlimited data
My 4g epic has wifi hotspot
One phone has international push to talk(Nextel)
1500 shared
Unlimited texts
Nights and weekends
4 phones have full insurance also.

I pay around 30$ and I've got all calls and messages for free.
People in the know are aware of a negotiation tactic up here to get in hold of the customer retentions department. Get through to cancellations and they'll send you to retentions, who have the power to drastically reduce your plan. Either give them a sob story, criticize the price straight up, whatever. As long as you're not a total they'll budge and start giving you credits for your services.
Right now I'm receiving:
Monthly Credit - $10/month
Another monthly - $8/month
Call display credit - $8/month
Early evenings credit - $7/month
Call fwd/transfer credit - $3/month
So I'm receiving $36 of credits per month, hence is why I went from paying $65 to $39/month

about $200 per month for a family plan with 2500 mins talk and unlimited text.
I'm probably getting robbed, but I don't trust any other phone for my business. I can do everything I need, even deposit a check.
No , crigina is so god damn annoying, "I'm not bashing apple but I'd rather Wank it to the thunderturd"

Because people want an iPhone
Cool. I was thinking that's the way it worked. I wouldn't mind paying up $70 a month just like Sprint but I'm waiting to see what's the deal with the new phones that are being released.People in the know are aware of a negotiation tactic up here to get in hold of the customer retentions department.

$68 (discounted) and yes, absolutely. If I was paying $100 like some people I'd cut back.
