Note: We don't buy phones at our house, phones are FREE with the plan, that is only way for my family.
But here's where I will find the best plan for my family and I.
A website that helps us consumers make informed purchase decisions about household services. They say when purchasing plan always purchase 10-15% more minutes than you would usually use just in case, to help prevent overages. Also, to purchase and unlimited text messaging package, especially if you have teenagers. I'm no teenager, but I certainly do text a lot. Since most Text Messaging Companies charge 25cents per text message when you go over your amount, it's definitely good to have Unlimited if you are type of person that texts a lot.
Of course for some people, there are alternatives to Cell Phones:
Skype.com - You can do video calling, you can call also do regular phone calls on Skype, and it's FREE. Although you do have to microphone and camera to use it, but that's only a one time purchase.
Google Voice - This is a free phone internet service, and fairly easy to use with your contacts already being listed in your gmail account.
TracFone.com - This is great who don't use there phones a lot. No monthly bills, or credit check. It is a Prepaid minute service 10ct per minute,so 100minutes for 10$. Although from what I know Tracfone doesn't usually consist of really nice phones.
Another service that is FREE to use to help find you cheaper phone plans based on how many minutes and text messages you currently use is BillShrink
I hope this helps you figure out a way to make a more cost effective decision when it comes to choosing cell phone plans. This is certainly helping me determine my usage as well. :D

Yes,very helpful. Your plug on Tracfone took me to unveil Straight Talk. They are part of Tracfone,but with much nicer stylish phones! They offer an Unlimited plan,so no worrying about overages or being billed per text. It is a prepaid phone,but that is the beuty of prepaid,you only pay for what you use. While I do have a lap top, I don't see myself making a phone call while driving with it,that is helpful onlly if you do not have a land line at home. Cost effective for me was going prepaid with Straight Talk and my experience so far is a 10!
