A couple of years ago I bought the lowest plan I could from
Cingular--450 minute family plan, offered only to corporate discount
partners. After discount and taxes, it came in right at about $47/month
for the two of us.

I gave that up at the end of December, at the end of my two years. I
had 3000 or so rollover minutes.

And of course, by the time my two years was up, they didn't have
anything under a 700 minute plan for more money--just like Verizon and
Sprint.

I could have stayed on that plan, but the 3000 rollover minutes showed
me that I had no need to pay $50/month ongoing.

So it wasn't that I bought a plan too large for me--it was the lowest
plan offered. I should have been on prepaid from the beginning...
