i have the lowest plan 450 min/5000 weekend mins, unlimited text & Data and i pay $107. Mind you i have the unlimited data and not the 2gb crap

The 2GB data plan anyone would get if signing up now is $25/mo. Unlimited text is $20 (unless you have multiple lines, unlimited family text is $30).

There are various discounts out there for different amounts. I would imagine you should get a decent military discount though. My work one is only like 10 or 12%. If even that. But every little bit helps...

I've heard of that from someone else... likely a bad device. Doubt they'll have a problem swapping it.

Easiest fix though may just be to pop the SIM out and insert it again.

yeah i was tracking on what you meant. but i was just curious as to how much more money the unlimited was; and $5 more for unlimited is nothing compared to being limited to 2gb/month.

I actually switched my plan (and the g/f's) from the unlimited to 2gb. Neither of us are ever even near 1GB... so I'd rather save the $10+ per month on the two plans. Actually it worked out to be around $15 savings (taxes?). My bill for 2 iPhone was $161 but now is $145 after switching both data plans.

Then again if you really do use a LOT of data, I can see how it would totally blow to not have unlimited anymore. You'd think they'd still offer it but just charge a little more. $35? $40? I don't know.
