I will do my own research, but Im not even sure where to start. We have US Cellular, its a MO based company. We pay about $120 a month for two phone lines and no internet on our phones. I want internet on our phones, but it would be an extra $30 per phone to have it and we arent willing to pay that. We do get free incoming calls and my husband is afraid to switch because he needs that.
So anyways, we dont want to pay more than $120 a month but want free incoming calls and internet. Where should I start?

What can I do next?

I have Verizon. Unlimited everything and i get good reception in most areas. Free mobile to mobile. I think the 1st phone is close to $100, and $10 a line afterward up to 4 lines. I never drop calls, but the phones are expensive, in my opinion.
Sprint has the best reception around here and in very rural areas. My husband has them and seems to be able to get better deals on phones. The people that I know that have AT&T get good phones for cheap, but hate thier service. Dropped calls, the network go down, all sorts of issues with AT&Ts phone service and customer service.

Check out the major carriers (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T) and see how they are in your area. Then go to their websites and look at the deals they offer. We have had Verizon and AT&T and have pay $120 a month for two phones with Internet. We don't have free incoming calls -- never heard of that actually -- but we split 1400 minutes so it's pretty much unlimited. Don't let the free incoming calls limit you - figure out how many minutes total you use now and then price out comparative plans with other carriers.

I would suggest doing more research and homework. We have compainies like Metro PCS which charges $50.00 a month for free talk, internet and texts but they drop calls like you would change in a pocket with holes.

Ask you family and friends if they are happy with their carriers service at every level and see online what plans they offer and the prices for those types of plans.

I have AT&T which I love.

Seriously check out Walmart's Family Mobile plan. It is actually T-Mobile - so if that works in your area, they are a much cheaper alternative. We pay $82 after tax for two phones with unlimited text and calling. We can add data a little or a lot at a time with data cards - I think. Never got it.

We had T-Mobile as our regular service and paid $119 a month after tax for the SAME service.

Tmobile has a plan that is 50 a month per phone, includes unlimited calls so both directions are free. Don't know if you guys are as annoying as my one friend, she calls me and then tells me to call her back and hangs up. I get why but it is very annoying, text me dammit!!

*end rant*

Anyway that also includes unlimited texting. I am not sure if there is another charge for data but tmobile is known to have the cheapest plans.

Oh they have a good network in Missouri, not so much in Illinois but who wants to go there anyway. :p
