any good couples promos or plans right now?
 
Looking to switch from prepaid to monthly plan. My wife and i will use phones but very little. need unlimited texting for my wife and unlimited evening weekends with some daytime but not much.
I was also thinking of using phone to connect to laptop so i can connect to xbox live on 360. I'm thinking maybe blackberry phone but don't want $20000 suprise on bill. I'm not to smart with cell's so any help or direction appreciated
Thanks in advance

dont bother with connecting your phone to your laptop to get internet.
just go get broadband. tethering will cost you your arm and legs. Prices range from $2 a megabyte. If your are playing 360, your bill will come to $2000 easily.

All "unlimited" anything plans have a 'fair use' policy. Basically it translates to "It's unlimited until we think you're shafting us, and then we're gonna charge you an arm and a leg for it."

^no

the unlimited internet means you get unlimited internet ON YOUR PHONE.

if you connect your phone to your computer and use it as a modem, it is called tethering.

tethering has price plans on its own.

besides, the speed your computer will receive will never be fast enough for the xbox.

if you want to play with your xbox, go get broadband internet
if you want to have portable internet on a computer, go get an internet stick (turbo stick for bell)
if you want to surf the internet on your phone, get a data a plan with your voice plan

the latency is like 500ms, games are a no go.
