Several thousand a month, but only 150 or so anytime out-of-network minutes. Luckily most of my friends and family from back home are also on Sprint, and i text the ones that aren't.

I guess I asked because I had a sprint plan with unlimited that was grandfathered from Nextel and I now have TMobile 2500 with nights and weekends and feeling insecure. I have looked at my bills and I know logically that they are below 2500 but still I'm feeling like what if this month I have to call some tech support or something happens and I need those minutes. anybody ever felt like that?

Average 1700 per month at $.08 per minute on the company plan. They also have a base charge.

Don't think our IT guys are real good at cell phone contracts

Cell phone companies love that feeling, because it encourages people to trade up to monthly plans that are in excess of what they need to optimize their cell phone spend. Whether your feeling is rational depends on your calling pattern. You've stated that you're below 2,500, but that doesn't tell us much -- other posters on this thread have described their calling patterns in much more detail that you have so far. E.g., I use about 600 minutes per month, with significant variation (+/- 50%); on a grandfathered Cingular plan with 1,000 rollover eligible minutes but no night/weekends minutes at $40/month. That gives me a rollover balance (from the last 12 months) of about 4,500 minutes. So for me, I'd need an unexpected 75 hour (3 days!) call to tech support before I'd start paying for overage minutes.

If you're typically around 2,000 minutes a month, you have decent reason to be a little nervous. But if you're typically around 1,250 minutes a month, how likely are you really going to have an unexpected 20 extra hours of calling in a given month?

20-25 min/month. I am also on a pre-pay plan.

My problem, too.

I almost never go over my 250 minutes a month, but I have this month - mostly because a power failure took out the phone system where I work.

I'm on vodafone over here and have a 1000mins and 1000txts plan and generally use 1500 txts and about 950mins. i also have stop the clock tho which takes me mins down dramatically. so when it says i use 950 i've probs used about 4000 or so. i'm a student with an active social life and a gf that doesnt live in the same town! lol
