As the title suggests, I would like to share my new plan, and have others post theirs. I don't think this should be a long-cocking competition, just a place to help others.
Oh yeah Apple _______s!

So, I phoned and immediately asked about buying out my contract. I made no mention of the iPhone 4 or any hardware. The 1st CSR asked if he could record the details of the plan... My "friend" AKA FanIn80 just recieved a better deal, and it would make sense for me to look into terminating the remaining 11 months on my existing contract. Yada yada 20 minutes, and the 2nd CSR comes back with a counter offer. I ended up with everything but the texting and i-pad... for $63.08 a month, all in, so I accepted. Now the new contract will start when/if I do the HUP to the 4, or whatever. I was paying $80-90 a month before and will now be $65-75, with more features.
The i-Pad sharing would be an extra $20/month, but since I don't have an iPad, fine. The CSR also said you can tether your i-Phone to the iPad, if I were to get one, as they both share out of the same 6 gee-bees pool, anyway.
This strategy would work with any company, I imagine.
A big thanks to FanIn80!
So, If anyone has recent experience, feel free to share. If every person considering a new phone got some real time, honest comparables, plan prices would start to drop across the board...
