    I LOVE my smart phone! I never thought it could be so handy. I use it for everything- calendar, calorie counter, weather, GPS, mapquest..I could go on & on! I love being able to go on the Quilt Board when I away from home.

    It is sorta spendy, 4.99.... but I found it worth it. I really like it. And it so nice to have your stash in the palm of your hand!

    How much are you all spending a month on the smart phones?

    I got one and AT&T automatically charges $25/mo. Along with normal use and texting, my first bill was $125/mo. Our regular family plan (me & DH) is no longer offered but costs us $65/mo. I had to dump the phone-god, I miss that phone!

    I just have a Trac Phone and have absolutely NO desire to have a Smart Phone, just my opinion. I rarely use my cell phone, I just have it for emergencies.

    I have Sprint and I pay 69 a month and I have unlimited everything. It's one fee so I use it now more than my house phone. I don't use the internet too often but I use the text some and I get my email there along with on my pc.

    The Apps can cost a pretty penny... I try to only use free ones or ones for .99.... than being said, I paid 4.99 for the Fabric Stash App. YIKES... but so far worth it?? I pay for a Family Plan, and four phones, one with the special data plan for my iPhone... I pay about 225.00 per month. OUCH. But, we have unlimited texting (three teen girls) and a 1400 min plan (so we can utilize friends and family on Verizon). I have paid the amount for so long.. we are just used to it.
