What kind of mobile phone service do you currently have?

Annual plans were once the only option, but now mobile service providers offer a range of ways to pay. 

Do you pay for texting or Internet capabilities separately, as well as your phone calls?  What kind of plan do you have, and what kind of plan would you like to have?

Month-to-month plan (43.3%)

Annual plan (44.0%)

Pay-as-you-go plan / prepaid phone (12.7%)

    I have a family plan using shared minutes, and unlimited texting (thank goodness! as I have a texting queen teen!). We also have roll over minutes which is wonderful, because there are instances such as a death or illness that you really can burn up time.

    I have a family share plan. Now we use our cell phones and have done away with a land line. I realized just how much cell phones have changed our life while reading the Box Car Children to my daughter. Try explaining a telegram to a 6 year old that grew up in the cell phone era.

    I have a pre-pay as you go cell plan, which is basically for emergencies. Our land line provides more than adequate national service, with the features I need for added countries.

    We have a family plan with shared minutes and unlimited texting which is very important with a teenager and a pre-teen.

    I am on a 2-year plan - which I do not like to do but in order to get a good price on the phone equipment we are forced into this with my carrier. They say they are not in the business of phone equipment, yet they charge outrageous prices for them.

    we have a family plan that we share our minutes, but have unlimited texting and internet. plus free mobile to mobile incoming and outgoing (with sprint). we just switched over and it was worth it. they have some very good plans. and if i need a new phone before my contract is up (or after if i don't want to extend) is good ol' ebay!!!
