How much does it REALLY cost?

Hi there, I was wondering what the monthly cost of your plan is. I'm looking to get an Eris for Christmas and was wondering what I should expect to pay every month.

Going to need a little more info from you to get you an exact amount of what your going to end up paying. how many minutes do you plan on using. do you want texting included if so how much texting. etc.

In all honesty I don't use my phone for calls all that much so something on the lower end of that. Unlimited Data and text of course!

Best calling plan for you then without need minutes but wanting text and data is Nationwide Select 450 minute plan. Same plan I am on right now. With that, the 29.99 for the unlimited data that is required and the 7.99 TEC insurance my total bill per month after taxes is about 105 dollars.

If you can get on a family plan the cost will drop. Or if you can get on with someone who has a decent discount it will drop even more. I went on my son-in-laws plan and my cost went from ~$100 to less than $60.

I got the 450 plus unlimited text. If I buy the phone of craigslist can't I just activated it without changing my plan? I think my plan is $59

Unless your plan has a data plan on it then no. Verizon requires a data plan for you to activate it.
