Stop getting !!ed with no vaseline, I made a thread about this a couple weeks ago.....do some research on different companies(not just ATT and Verizon, look at prepaid plans and local/regional providers) and take note on how you use data service...if you're not a data hog or you don't need 5GBs of data(if you're home, job, friends house and public places around you have wifi then you don't need high amount of data service)

Here's the thead I made about cell phone plans:

Most people don't go over 3gb, u don't need 5gb unless u don't have wifi anywhere and your constantly streaming video (hours daily). If u have wifi and home then chances are 3gb is way more than enough.
