Well they charged me $300 to cancel, and to suspend you don't have to pay anything but the monthly service charge each month. So I would put it on the smallest plan before you suspend the line, because if you put it on the small plan before you suspend they will have to charge you to re instate the line to make the change and then suspend it again. I think that you don't have to pay a fee to actually suspend, but I think there may be a $25 fee to have it turned back on. I think that you can suspend it for up to 1 year but you may want to look into that a bit more.
