How many minutes a month do you use? If it's less than 100, you're
probably better off going with prepaid service, assuming you don't take a
family plan. Even Cingular prepaid, which is fairly high as prepaid
plans go would run you about $9/month if you use 30 minutes/month.

Are you sure? Your fiancee's plan is probably $40 or morebefore taxes-
that plus your $20 is $60.

Usually family plans allow unlimited calling between family members, so
if you anticipate using more minutes talking to each other, it's probably
a better deal to be in the family plan.
