Thanks for the info guys,
I really like this. I usually don't mind free market economics, but maybe there should be some laws against structuring your data plans like this. And the text thing -...

Yup, a lot figure it will be a ploy to lure those with unlimited data plans out of it "for the better for the family"

There again the package deals make it a better price. On my current plan for smart phones $30 I get unlimited data (Yes not really unlimited) and text so it is only $10 more than what your quoting...

The family plan kills you when you have multiple smart phones. Each one being $30 for a data package. I wish they had a family data package. Then again they're in the business of making money, not...

Ok yes that is the literal approach. I do believe they package deals and ways to get discounts, but without a family plan you won't get it down to a comparable price probably.

Paying $20 for unlimited texting is such a freaking ripoff. It costs these networks NOTHING (I am not joking literally NOTHING. They use a channel that is required to be running all the time anyway,...

Well yeah. Like I said..they have a LOT of roaming partners such as metroPCS so they can claim something like "largest network". It's not actually their network. They're just more lenient on roaming...

To get unlimited voice, data (really2GB), text on Verizon costs $120/month. AND a 2 year contract.
Cricket is $55. NO CONTRACT.
Over the life of the phone (2 years?) you'd save $1560. That's like...
