Good for you. Actually I have Verizon and my husband has Nextel, and my phone always works and his has crappy reception. We call them Nextime, as in "you may get the call Next time". So I think they are ridiculously priced for what you get. You should get the $1000 downpayment back correct. I would dedicate that as your emergency fund.

But just want to say excellent work!

Sarah, after reading your post last night I decided to look into my cell phone plan. I have 4 phones (mine, husband, mom and daughter) I have Verizon (love it!) and my last bill was about $160.00. My plan is based on 1500 mins per month. Anyway, I talked to a rep at Verizon and we have only been using 750 mins (give or take a few each month). So I dropped it down to 1000 mins per month. My next bill will only be about $110 (including tax). Just saved myself $50.00 a month! Thank you for posting, because I don't think I would have called Verizon if I did not see your post.

We had Nextel...and yep, our reception was lousy in weird places (like my mom's driveway, but not her house, LOL).
