T-Moble My Touch 4G phone by HTC
I do not have Internet at my house.
I use my phone as a hotspot for my laptop in my house.
Plus my phone also has Internet on it as part of the package.
This phone is so good that I can be on the Internet while talking to someone on the phone and texting someone else.
I have an LG Optimus V (V for Virgin Mobil, runs on the Sprint network), it's tethered via Quick Settings. I pay $25 per month for 300 minutes talk time with unlimited texting/messaging and internet.
You know their prices are going up on July 20, right? This is from their Facebook page:
Our new plan structure will be as follows beginning July 20th, 2011:
$35 for unlimited messaging/data and 300 anytime minutes
$45 for unlimited messaging/data and 1200 anytime minutes
$55 for unlimited messaging/data and unlimited anytime minutes
As of July 20th, 2011, existing Virgin Mobile customers will be grandfathered into the $25, $40 and $60 Beyond Talk plans. Grandfathered customers can keep these plans as long as they dont change plans or let their accounts expire. They can even upgrade to new Android-powered devices without incurring additional costs.
Heres some more good news:
Under our new plans BlackBerry customers will have no additional monthly cost! Current BlackBerry customers on the $50 and $70 plans can change over to the new $45 and $55 plans to get the same service for less money. New BlackBerry customers will now utilize the same plans as all other Beyond Talk Virgin Mobile customers.

I got VM 7 years ago for work and I"m still on their Minute-to-Minute plan. From the above info I think that's going to change but I'm not sure. Which sucks for me.I spend around $100 - $150 year and that's more than enough but if they change it to $25/month my bill triples. I only use it for emergencies or texting the college kid. I let my youngest borrow it (trying to get her to come home on time) and told her 'a few phone calls or texts is fine but that's it'. The little shit . . . texted $60 worth in a few days but deleted them off the phone so I wouldn't know. Yeah, right. She handed over her remaining $49 birthday cash to pay for that.
I wanted a phone w/a qwerty keyboard for easier texting and bought the LG Rumor (not the touch) for $20 off of a woman selling it on craigslist. I like the phone ok for texting but . . the damn font is smaller than my old Kyocera. Of course, the red back-lit numbers on the Kyocera were too blurry for me to see. Oh why don't I just put the damn reading glasses on when I use it! lol
