I am not very sure if this is the good place to post the question. So mods please move it if needed.
I am planning to change my current landline + cell phone setup. Even after reading many posts here, I am still not sure about which plan I should get.
I am located in south FL. So coverage wise all are great.

My current setup:
I currently have Virgin Mobile 18c per min plan + AT&T (Bellsouth) Basic local plan.
I also have google voice which I am using to call long distance.

Phones I have: Kyocera K325 Cyclops + Nokia shorty...both on virgin mobile.

Usage:
Minutes: less than 500 minutes (most of these are local and some of these are to India -normally I use calling card/jaxtr/googlevoice for that)
Texts: on average 10 per month

Cell Plans I am considering:
MetroPCS family plan - 4 for $100 - with my friends - I will have one phone line. So that is $25 per month for me.
PagePlus 1200 Plan - $30 per month.

Advantage of metropcs: I can add $5 for unlimited international calling.
Advantage of pageplus: Better coverage, cheaper phones.

For home:
I need some minimal service at home to communicate between home and office..
Considering onesuite SuitAdvantage VOIP for $2.95 per month with free incoming. For outgoing I will use google voice call via web.

Questions:
1. How much metropcs plan will actually cost after all taxes etc? (excluding the $5 international plan)
2. Cheapest phone I can get for metropcs? (Camera phone would be nice but not necessary)
3. Is there any data available on the metropcs plan? I will only use very rarely for maybe checking map/directions.
4. I believe pageplus plan has no taxes etc. Am I right?
5. Any other plans from any provider for less than $35 per month including the $2.95 voip?
 
Sounds like a good plan.

I am not familiar with some metropcs and page plus because I use T-mobile prepaid and Onesuite SuiteAdvantage VoIP only and yes Google Voice too.

Onesuite $2.95/month is unbeatable in my opinion plus you always have the option to use it for outgoing calls if your main provider bog down for some reason.
 
Thanks ToFs for your reply.
I have finally decided to go with pageplus for following reasons.
1. I realized that metropcs international plan only covers landline phones in India and it does not cover calls to cell phones.
2. Phones on pageplus are much cheaper.
3. after taxes and all, metropcs and pageplus are almost equal cost wise.

So it seems you are very happy with Onesuite. By any chance do you know any device which allows one to connect regular phone to this onesuite service.
Or do you know of any usb phones which work with onesuite?
