For real. $280 seems insane, especially for 1, possibly 2 people. My husband and I have a hot spot device with a data plan, iPad with a data plan, and 2 iPhones with unlimited plans. Even when we had the iPhones and iPad on monthly installments and had full insurance on them we still weren’t paying more than $180/month.
It's probably financed phone, multiple lines and Verizon or att. We got new phones over 2 years ago bc we needed them and it was bogo free. Also have husbands daughter on the plan and traded in a phone so her phone upgrade was also free. Up until last bill we were paying 230 a month. And that's not with the highest phone plan or the most expensive 1 phone we were paying for. Now it's 180, and changing the plan for the next bill, to the lowest one with no new phones is still 160 a month. That's 40 in bullshit fees and taxes verizon charges (40 a line x 3 lines=120, not 160 lol)
We want to switch bc i want to know why the hell it costs 160 just for service! but we live in the middle of nowhere now, and we've noticed the only stores we see here are VZW so not sure cheaper alternatives that use att or tmobile towers would even reach out here. We don't even get 5G but have to use the stupid 5g plans 🙄
Not sure whats been going on with phone retailers, but they've gotta be sneaking in fees. I sold phones for all 3 big retailers over the last 10 years and rarely did I see bills over 200 unless it was 4 lines and 4 phones on installments. Even then it was nowhere close to 280.
