After seeing an article on Consumerist about how much some people are actually paying for there cell phone minutes I thought I would run some numbers on my current cell phone plan. My wife and I share a cell phone plan and are on the lowest possible family plan AT&T provides. We never use all of our anytime minutes. I calculated our anytime minutes that our anytime minutes cost us about $0.25 per minute. Now that does not include the mobile-to-mobile or the night and weekend minutes. Therefore, based on the consumerist article I think I'm doing pretty good.

However, more than anything I would like to see an unlimited data plan that allows me to pay about $0.10 per minute for voice minutes.  It is time for cell phone companies to rethink the way they sell there services. I believe they would actually sell more smart phones if they pricing followed this type of format. So here is a message to all the cell phone service providers:

SHOW ME THE DATA! 

Now that my current cell phone contract is about to expire data pricing will be a top priority in my future mobile communication needs. I would consider a reasonable priced plan provides me unlimited data and texting and charges for voice by the minute.
