My phone was recently lost or stolen, and while I've since replaced it, in
reviewing my usage I noticed that I'm greatly underusing my current
retention plan and am thinking of going to a less expensive one. Here's my
current retention plan:

2500 Anytime
Unlimited N&W
2nd Line
7pm N&W on both lines
F&CA on both lines
Unlimited PCS-PCS
Vision on line 1
$110 + taxes = ~$136/mo

I think this is a great plan. It's just that I've been averaging around
500-600 minutes on both lines combined for the past 4-5 months, and don't
expect it to pass 1000 anytime soon, so I'm seriously underutilizing it.
Does anyone know of a less expensive retention plan that would give me all
the above features, but with fewer anytime minutes, say 1000-1500?

Well, I've got a pretty good retention plan which includes *3 phones* on
1200 AT minutes.
N & W start @ 8:00 PM
F & CA
Vision on two phones
Unlimited PCS2PCS
Unlimited Wireless Web Messaging (text messages)

I had N & W @ 7:00, but dropped that $5 option as I too am under my minutes
threshold. Right now, I'm paying $85 + $8.04 in taxes for a total of $93.04.

Just one point of clarification here. In checking my last month's invoice,
the taxes were $12.+. It appears that deal I made with SPCS also has a 5%
credit off the $85.00 ... :)

For what you have been doing for Sprint, they shouldn't charge you a dime.

Well, the free one, of course!

Also, I ended up calling the # that my missing cell phone was used to call,
and the person said they had my phone. We arranged a time and place to get
my phone back, so hopefully this will end well. It also occured to me that
what I should have done when I realized the phone was missing was send
myself a text message with a # to call. Even if the person who found it
wanted to contact me, with so many #'s in my phone book they wouldn't have
known where to start. Or, I suppose, I could have had an entry called "Call
if Found". Oh well, lessons learned.
