Wife and I will both be retired 4-1-2015.  Currently we both have iphone 4s with unlimited talk and text.  Cost about $150 monthly.  Service is with ATT.  Anyone got any info or advice on decent prices for retirees.  My wife will not give up her smart phone while all I want is a simple phone that you can talk on and text on.  What direction should I be looking...?

AT&T; really want to push you towards the family sharing plans, which are all unlimited talk and text and data in increasing increments. For non-smartphones, if you don't need data, you could look at Go Phone plans. Depending on the type of phone you get and the amount of data you want (if any), if may be less expensive to stay on the same plan as your wife, or it might be more.

Their current "family" plan is $100 + $15 for each phone. So $130. 10 GB of data.

They may have retiree discounts. I'd ask. We get a decent discount because my wife is a teacher.

Switch to T-mobile - currently $100/month for 2 lines unlimited everything. I am pretty sure they will pay your ETF fees if you are currently in contract.

Although if you live in an area without running water, i hear the service isnt as good there.
