Help! I need a different cell phone plan.

I have been using AT&T but they have really screwed me over. I had a plan that cost about $65 a month. It had 450 minutes but I also had 4,000 rollover minutes to use. Each month I would use my 450 minutes plus about 250 of my rollover minutes and it was working fine. Then last month they expired my rollover minutes. Now if i go over the 450 minutes they charge me .45 a minutes - Yikes.

I really need a plan where I get about 750 minutes a month. I don't have a land line and I use my cell for business so i realty need to be able to talk as much as I want to.

What do other people do?

1200 minutes, unlimited text and unlimited data - $45 a month.
unlimited minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data - $55 a month.

Note that with unlimited data they will slow down your internet access if you use too much (2 gigabytes), but that is pretty much par for the course (and 2 gigs on a phone is plenty).

Phone-to-Phone between those five doesn't count against minutes. We don't do text messaging so that doesn't factor into it (I actually had them block it because we had been getting hit with charges when someone texted one of our daughters). The service has been great and so is the phone support (rarely needed). For the record, we started with PCS One which was later swallowed by T-Mobile and our plan was grandfathered. They've yet to come up with a better deal.
