Looking to leave Sprint (and come back to AT&T)
Sprint was WAY cheaper for my familiy plan. Here's what I've got now:
3 iPhones
1 basic flip phone
1500 shared minutes
unlimited messaging (including texts)
unlimited data
unlimited mobile-mobile calling (any phone on any network)
Total Cost (including fees/surcharges/taxes, less my monthly discount): $194/month
I get a 27% monthly credit for my consulting work with Citigroup. Can AT&T come close to matching this price? Sprint's data network is beyond bad. It would actually be funny if I wasn't suffering with it. I'm dreading the ordeal of changing phones and swithing my family plan over, but I need to look at what else is out there. I'd rather not start the conversation with AT&T in a store just yet. Last time I did that I encountered extreme skepticism over the price I was paying and found the reps had quite an attitude about it.
TIA!

70 main line, 10 additional lines each. 30 for unlimited texting, 20 to 30 each for smartphone data plans.

{please keep it courteous} You know darn well that it's not 20-30 each for smart phone data plan. The OP stated that they are iPhones!! It's 30-50, and that is a CAPPED PLAN -- NOT UNLIMITED. Once you go over the 3GB or 5 GB that AT&T is going to cap you at, it's an extra $10 per gig.

Thanks guys. Food for thought.
A lot will depend on any employer discount I can get from AT&T and that's a conversation for a rep in a store. I assume the taxes/fees/surcharges will be roughly equivalent. Right now those charges make up about $20 of the $190 total I pay each month.

one thing additional to add - you will need all new phones so factor that into your conversion cost

What sticks in my craw is that I'm paying only $172 (before taxes/fees, after discount) on Sprint. I'm looking at adding $50/month to my monthly bill while getting slightly less in terms of features. Is the better data speed worth it? That's a question only I can answer.
