How much would it cost me a month to keep an iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, and the iPhone 5s?

And can you tell me what specifically I'm paying for ex.talking and text etc.

Added (1). I have tried to look it up but I get different numbers every time. I'm trying to ask someone who has one.

Look it up! Lazy bones!

It depends on the service provider you choose, they all have different rates. Some have smartphone surcharges and some do not.

I have a family account with T-Mobile with four lines. Three of those lines are now iPhones (I got an iPhone earlier this year and our two teens got iPhones a week or so ago). My husband uses a non-smartphone.

T-Mobile's plans are $50 for one line or $80 for two lines and then after that, each additional line is $10 a month. They no longer charge smartphone surcharges, and the plan includes unlimited talk, text and data.

The data is capped at 500 mb per line of high speed access. After 500 mb, that line can still do things such as play games, Facebook, check email, go to websites. However, it is slowed down and makes doing other things such as downloading apps or music or watching videos on YouTube impossible.

I can tell you that my teens have already reached that 500 mb limit on their phones even though they have not had them two weeks yet and they have not yet downloaded music and they do not use YouTube.

There are ways around that problem, though. We pay for additional data on one of the lines (they have a couple of options). If you have Wi-Fi access at home, school, work or out shopping (many places offer free Wi-Fi access) then you can do things that use a lot of data via Wi-Fi.

The phone itself costs extra- some companies have subsidies that make what you pay up front for the phone less, but their rates are higher as a result. T-Mobile no longer offers such subsidies. You must either pay for the phone up front or, if you qualify, you can get a payment installments. I paid for my iPhone 5 up front, but my teens are each paying for their 5c themselves. The downpayment was less than $50 (I do not remember the exact amount) and they have installments of $20 a month for 24 months. Since their line on our account is $10 a month, that means that for the service and the phone itself they are paying $30 a month or $1 a day (each).

It depends on which carrier you plan to go with & what options you take when picking out the plan. Too many variables to list.
