    That’s about correct, idk what everyone else is on about, but my phone costs me $70 a month, and my Internet costs $60, and those were the cheapest plans I could get. Not to mention that the reason my phone bill isn’t higher is because I had to buy my phone outright at $600.

    Shits expensive here, for no reason other than corporate greed.

      Phone service is only expensive because your paying for the privilege of priority. Go with MVNOs and its reasonable, just the service is slower in congested areas.

        To add onto this, there are MVNOs for basically every carrier.

        Visible uses verizon, and their cheapest plan is $25/month, taxes and fees included. There’s currently a promo that brings it down to $19/month for 26 months.

        Mint and metro uses tmobile. Metro offers unlimited at $25.

        Cricket uses at&t, they also have unlimited phone plans in the $25-35 range.
