Alright, currently my family is paying 190$ a month for 3 phones on at&t
Iphone and 2 samsung impressions.

Im wondering if theres a more cost effective way switching the impressions with androids.
Like, i've seen that you can get apps for free texting/calling on android so that can cut out unlimited text/minutes cost.


Im looking at t-mobile.

I just want to know what everyone w/ an android is paying for, and what network you prefer.
then how i could save more by switching to android and how.

Thanks SRF. :D

canceling a contract is basically a bitch its your montly cost x by time you have left = your free

although there are odd times in which you can get out such as if they change the cost of the contract you have 30days to drop out (on my contract atleast)

you really have to read it to find out but in all seriousness you may just have to buy the phone seperate and put your sim in, your bound to that contract

if you are just call them and say your switching providers, they will prolly offer you a better deal if not change providers, keep in mind most phone shops are commission based so dont be affraid to try talk yourself a deal, stay ontop of them dont let them get you
