To build the 12-month column, we add a year of the listed lease to the install price plus any set-up fee. A company that posts no install price gets MADD's typical range instead (marked *), and a company with no price at all is flagged in the cell. Quoted by phone means you get the price when you call the company. For a rough idea, MADD's general estimate runs $60 to $80 a month. Add $70 to $150 for install, and 12 months come to about $790 to $1,110 ($720 to $960 with a free install).
