it's reached a point where my talk-only plan costs more per month than other people's smart phone plans that include texting and some data, which is super bs.

How?

Not sure for every case, but in some cases by using MVNO or other sellers who aren't the main cell companies but pay to use their lines (but those companies all have data plans and in some cases use wifi as the primary method to call). But in other cases, they just got special offers. An older semi-retired guy at work has the same provider as me (Verizon) w/ a data plan and pays less. He said he had been like me, sticking w/ a flip phone, and they offered him a really good discount plan if he upgraded to a smart phone.
*shrug*

The plan I'm on is actually gone now and I'm grandfathered in. The second we need a new phone, we'll be forced to the new low-end plan, which includes more voice time per month (but we never hit the limit now anyway...) and a bunch of texts per month. 100 or 1000 or something, don't know or care, I don't really text.
