Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 A cheaper phone plan = less minutes = fewer texts (at least what I could probably afford) > So as some of you might know, I struggle with setting limits with phone calls with nada and fada. I am completely financially independent from them except for my cell phone bill. So I have two questions: > > 1) Have any of you been in the situation where you told nada or fada you don't want to be on their cell phone plan anymore (I feel so weird asking this - - so many parents would be happy to see their kids so independent!) > > 2) Do you know of any relatively cheap phone plans (let's say 70/mo or less?)? I don't want to go NC with them, so I'll probably still call them, plus some friends. Texting isn't too important and having 250/month should be plenty. I currently have a smart phone so I'm not sure if I can opt out of the data plan or anything... > > I need enough information before I tell them I want to do this, and that I can make sure I can afford it all. I am making enough money to survive, but not much beyond that with paying for therapy as well haha...I know this will be worth it if I can. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 At least where I am...Sprint has unlimited *everything* for $79/mo. I imagine you could get even cheaper without doing the unlimited thing. > ** > > > A cheaper phone plan = less minutes = fewer texts (at least what I could > probably afford) > > > So as some of you might know, I struggle with setting limits with phone > calls with nada and fada.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Walmart has a Straight Talk plan. They have lots of plans, but the one that's advertised the most is unlimited everything for $45 a month. Janet  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
