Cell Phone Plans

What types of phone plans do you guys have. I always go over on mine and end up paying $85/month. Its pissing me off.
I have a corporate plan, but I think its ****. I called rogers today and couldnt get anything else out of them, and they told me its a good plan.
I talked to 2 different people and couldnt get a better deal out of them, how do you guys get things for free?

200 weekday minutes.
Weekends/weekdays after 8pm.
Caller ID.
Rogers to Rogers.

$25 + System access + taxes.

Anyone else think this is a bad corporate plan?

Its only good if your weekly calling is all after 8pm

I used to have it starting at 8, I was always over on my bills, paid the extra for starting at 6, no problem since but and extra $5.

When you think of it, 200 week day minutes is around 10 minutes a day (4 weeks = 20 week days, 200/20 = 10) 10 minutes a day is not alot.

My bills are around $75 with long distance, but its my only phone (no home phone)

Telus Smart phone

$30 my5
$30 email, IM, txt unlimited, caller ID, VM
SAF
Unlimited txt msgs, MSN messenger, unlimited after 6pm and weekends, unlimited to 5 numbers, can get email for 5 of my email addresses. Unlimited local calling for 3 months (ends july 12), 200 daytime minutes, 50 bonus minutes

Bill is around $70/mth
I'm happy with it. My last phone was Virgin pre-paid and didn't do email and was costing me around $50-60/mth anyways, plus I had to stop to buy minutes all the damn time.
