Did you fall for those "add a line for $9.99" ads from cellphone companies?

Each time I add a $9.99 line, I end up paying around $30 for that line once I add everything the user needs! Plus the primary user has to have a very expensive package to start with, like $80...

I'm getting tired of being ripped off by phone and cable companies...

    I have done it with 2 other phones on mine. Just do not have web browsing and a lot of texting then the bill stays low. Good luck!

    The primary user always bills at a higher rate, thats why the other lines bill at $9.99.

    If you do not want to may more than the $9.99 remove the additional features then your bill will stay low.

    Since your paying around $30 per line for your additional lines thats still cheaper than if you had individual lines right?? Your cheapest voice plan would start at $39.99 so your really making out OK.

    Yeah I did that because we needed two lines. It is a total rip off. I am looking into going with sprint since they have some good deals. I am waiting to see if there customer service improves. Since they have been losing so many customers they are bound to offer some good deals. At least that is how I see it. AT&T has been taking me to the cleaners.
