Just stop subscribing to the big three carriers (in the US) and go with a reseller! I've been with StraightTalk for almost a decade now and my bill has been a consistent $35 (plus a few bucks in taxes/fees) the entire time AND the data allowance at full speed has gone UP over time.

Or sometimes just find alternatives that suits your needs.

I'm with Tello and I pay $15 a month for 5GB/Unlimited Text-Talk, but it suits my needs. They're having a cool deal right now for Black Friday where it's $15 for unlimited data with text/talk for an entire year. The only fees is a few cents for tax.

Yep, 10 years with a reseller. I have 5 lines now and my bill is $150/month. I always purchase unlocked phones so I have the option of swapping whenever I want. I only run midrange phones and run them for 3+ years. I also pay for cable internet for another $80/month. Can't wait until the fiber company finally gets around to installing in my neighborhood. That will cut that bill down by 1/2.
