that should all run you sub-$200/month (I have 5 phones, 4 watches, 1 tablet - $178/month (which I think it is still to high and am getting ready to call att to negotiate again or switch))

I really don't think so. I've shopped around several times, and while I could cut it a bit, I'm not getting more than a ~15% reduction overall.

Note that this is not all cellular service; I typically buy contract-subsidized devices. There's really no reason not to, as it's the same cost as buying them elsewhere but paid over two years. The effect of inflation alone on that deferred debt is about the same as what I could save on service by changing carriers.

Also, I and my family use our devices extensively. It's not uncommon for us to hit 1TB of cellular data in a month.

Through who? I'm paying $450 a month for 5 iphones and 4 watches.

  • wow madness!!! at&t! I did spend a bunch of my time negotiating over the phone but I think even what I pay is too much :)
