So do I.
There's nothing wrong with thinking about *total cost*, where, in fact, the
total cost, with or without the "free" iPhone 7 is the same for the next
two years (excepting the sales tax).

There is no plan from the big three in the USA that is better than mine.
And pay-as-you-go doesn't cut it (I've been there and done that).

Pay-as-you-go would drive the other 3 people nuts, in fact.
So they'd drive me nuts (since some are women!).

I have had Verizon.
I have had AT&T.
I have had T-Mobile.

They're all good and bad but if you know of a monthly plan by a "reseller"
for my 4 phones, that is *better* than mine, what *is* that plan?

Simply give me a company name that has a phone number that I can call as
soon as I get your response.

Just one word - a company name that has a phone number that I can call to
ask them what they'd offer to me to compete with my current T-Mobile plan
of 4 phones, unlimited talk & text, 3.5GB/month, and European goodies such
as unlimited data and 20 cents a minute.

Note: The kids text like fiends, and the wife sends only about 50 or so
text a day, while I probably send only about five a day on average (if
that). 

The kids are on the phone 24/7 making calls to their friends, and they use
the data but the wife and I could do just as well with 200 MB of data or
less a month.

Only one kid bumps up against the data limits though (because she doesn't
have the sense to turn off sync of unnecessary stuff, mostly). The other
kid is a smarter kid and has data under control. 

I'm sick of the pay-as-you-go restrictions, so, that's not an option (been
burned too many times as I don't keep up with expiry dates). 

My point in explaining my needs is that I don't have to exactly match my
current T-Mobile plan - but I have to match the *needs* of the 4 members of
the plan.

Me? I could do just fine with something like 10 calls a day and 10 texts a
day and 500KB a day - but there are others involved some of whom are kids,
and half of whom are not technically astute (which makes life difficult
technically). (The boys know far more than the girls, in almost everything,
except makeup and clothes and fashion and cooking, etc.).
