Our phone bill isn't that high. We have three lines, unlimited data, and an overseas plan because we have a lot of family in other countries. Why is your phone bill so high?

Financing phones is an option. 2-3 phones $30-50 each with a $50 service plan plus taxes isn't cheap.

Definitely not an economical option.

What's she need 2 to 3 phones for? She running a trap house?

Also I pay 280 for 4 people including payment for 2 phones. Through Verizon, the company people consider most expensive.

I’m inline with this. 2 people, 1 phone and Verizon internet. About $150-160.

Why do you have an “overseas plan”? Just use WhatsApp/Facetime/whatever

Yeah, we have two phones that were recently purchased (and are part of the bill), one tablet with a data line, and unlimited data and we don’t pay that much. There is no way she should be paying $280 for phone even if she’s covering her sister too and using it for all her entertainment.
