Until I changed jobs a year ago, I had a $10 a month plan, that included 50 minutes and only used the phone in emergenies. At my new job we aren't really supposed to get personal calls on the office phones, but cell phones seem to be okay I now have 300 minutes a month, but don't pay the extra $5 for text, so if I'm on mine, it is talking...and I use maybe a 1/3 of my allotted minutes
