I just got my first smartphone: A Samsung Intercept from Virgin Mobile. $25 for 300 minutes, unlimited text and data. I'd like (and would pay for) a nicer phone, but I can't see paying 2x or 3x monthly.<br><br>Kendall<br>

<br>
If anyone is interested in the stats so far, the average minute usage per phone is 350, average texts per phone is 360, and the average data usage per phone is 291 megs. If you exclude the non data users, the average usage per phone is 621 megs per month. The average cost per telephone is $45.<br>
<br>
If we offered something in the range of 500 minutes, 500 text, and 500 megs for $50 and 1000 minutes, 1000 text, and 1000 megs for $75, would that be appealing?<br>
