I pretty much use my phones for everything but yakking on ’em.
Dumber phone is on a 10¢/min plan, 100bux for a 1yr expiration (carried over to the next as long as you re-up).
Smarter phone is 2bux/day (only when used!), also 1yr expiration and carry-over, but I only use that when I know I’m going to be on the phone for at least 20min (eg, conference call at work).
I don’t waste my time watching videos, etc., on a micro-screen.
Wow quit different depending on country. Pretty fast speeds in Europe and cheaper options in USA. Here it’s a monopoly right now with Rogers, Bell and TELUS hogging everything. Things are changing now cuz people are complaining there’s not enough competition.
One change is I can get unlimited after 15gb but the thing is it’s throttled down to 512 KB/S. Basically videos don’t load, web pages load slowly and uploads takes a few tries lol. Might as well go read a book.
Tracfone prepaid smartphone. $125 LG Stylo 4, comes with 1200 minutes talk, 1.2gb data, 1200 texts. This lasts me well over a year, and rolls over balance into a new phone if I buy a newer one, or renew service for $99.
My wife and I recently switched over to Visible Wireless. They’re a Verizon subsidiary running on Verizon towers, but not including partner towers which may impact some rural areas. Its unlimited talk/text/data (including hotspot throttled to 5 mb/s). A single line is $40 including taxes, but you can join a Party Pay group to lower your bill down to $25 all in per month. We’re really liking it so far.
I’m paying $20 a month for unlimited everything through my cable company. As long as I stay a customer with them, I can keep that service and price. Surprisingly, at my work, I actually get a good signal, whereas the only other company that occasionally works is Verizon. On Long Island (if the name didn’t give it away).
AT&T “Unlimited and More Premium” shared with 3 family members, 4 lines total with a first responders discount. $165 total, my share is about $45. “Unlimited” data and everything else, 25 free directv streaming channels, one free premium channel, 15gb’s per line of tethering.
