My mom, my sister, and me all have our own pre-paid cell phone plans from Virgin Mobile. We have to buy a card atleast every 3 months. Well I calucated this and it comes out we spend about $300 per year doing this (I buy a card usually every 2 months). Does anyone know of a good cell phone plan that would give me free night and weekends for all three of us for under $400 per year? It doesnt matter the amount of minutes we would have to share, I would just really like the free nights and weekends, this is when I usually talk the most anyway. (The price of the phones isn't an issue, but the cheaper the better as Im trying to convince my parents to sign all of us up on a plan.)

From what you have detailed, it would seem better for you to stick with the pre-paid cell phones.

Most companies now offer huge buckets of shared minutes between the different lines as well as unlimited mobile-to-mobile and unlimited nights & weekends. But these plans generally start around $59.99 for the first two lines and charge an additional per month fee for each line after that.

That roughly comes to at minimum $850 per year not including any fees, taxes or tariffs. The cost is almost double what you're currently paying.

Like everyone else has said, you won't find anything cheaper than you're paying now. Cheapest I've heard of for a family plan is a Cingular plan that's $49.99 for two lines (the plan they don't put in the brochure) + $10 to get a third line. Which means you'd be looking at $720 a year plus USF, recovery, and whatever other little random fees they throw on every month. You're better off sticking with the prepaid as opposed to a national wireless provider. I suppose that you may be able to find a smaller local carrier that will give you a better deal, but that would vary by where you live plus you'd sacrifice the service that you get from a national carrier.

It would be hard 2 find a plan that cheap. Usually the cheapest plan is $40/month + 10/month per extra line = $720/year.
