I'm a low data user that routes all of my texts through Google Voice. In a typical month, I'll use 200MB of data and 300-400MB in a particularly high usage month. Most contract plans that included data charged me ~$20-30/month for the data alone, so I wanted to switch. I originally used T-Mobile's prepaid 100 minutes + "unlimited" data plan for $30 a month. I switched to RingPlus's 10 minutes + $0.02 per MB/minute overage plan for $2/month + data overage charges and reduced my bill to around $11 a month (this plan no longer exists -- it's 4 cents per MB now). I then switched to US Mobile on a 100 minutes + 250MB plan for $10 a month -- and their T-Mobile service gives me better coverage in my area. By switching providers around with my personal use case, I was able to very aggressively bring my cell phone bill down. I've found being able to take the other option very valuable to me.
