As I've said before, the wireless price war IS on. The wireless companies are fighting to see just how high they can raise their prices and still keep customers. So far, nobody is winning.
no truer words were ever spoken.

after my 2yr contract ran out about 6 months ago, I considered getting another contract but with a less expensive plan. I figured in 2 yrs prices must be cheaper, right? Nope. I could either get less minutes and pay about the same, some carriers a little higher; or same minutes (approx.) for a higher price.

cell service HAS NOT gotten cheaper over the last 2.5 yrs.

the company has a good retention policy: the second my contract ran out, I got a 15% discount on what I was paying.

forgot to mention: text plans also went up in price over that period.

My bill has dropped $10 every 2 years for the last 6 as my plan has improved. Dropped from 50 to 40 switching from US Cellular to ATT, gained rollover and free mobile to mobile. Dropped from 40 to 30 switching to Sprint, gained unlimited text and data. All the plans had almost exactly the same base minutes with nights and weekends.
