I'll have to give them a try, my average Verizon bill is over $600 (me, the Ex and my kids).

How many in your group? There are six in mine, and our bill is always less than $300/month.
(1) That's after a $40/month Vet discount, but there are other discount programs.
(2) That's with their cheapest Start plan as the more costly plans seem like overprice gimmicks to me.
(3) Includes Total Mobile Protection, now $56/month for four slots as three slots have been taken. Anytime a new number has an insurance claim, that freezes a slot so I have to add another at $11/month to cover the others.
(4) We only have two phones in Device payments. I keep suggesting that they do not each have to get a new thousand dollar phone every other year as the TMP covers their phones and the newer, overpriced phones are a pitfall to resist. None of them are Wall Street brokers or anything similar. I have a hunch that the Engineer in you falls for those new phone upgrades.
I tried to look at T-mobile, wondering if they work in my rural county. They don't own towers and cables, buy their airtime from AT&T and Sprint so I guess they would work okay here, but I couldn't get a bid on six phones on their website and don't want to deal with a telemarketer who knows that talk is cheap.
I do spring for a new battery every other year or so. $50 at Best Buy with them doing the work. Last month my iPhone 6 plus passed diagnostics before the change but not after, so they replaced the phone
at no extra charge! Again, they did all of the work including moving my photos, contacts etc.
