I really don't want to buy a cellphone, but I'm about

What the fuck do you need in a phone?

>>18537315
Mainly just calling and texting, along with access to some helpful apps (email, GPS, that sort of thing).

It's the plan that gets you. If you use republic wireless, metro, or some virgin mobile plans you can get talk and text for 20-35 a month.

Casio G'Zone Ravine 2. Like 25 bucks on ebay. It talks, it texts, it has Opera Mobile and 3G. Go to Page Plus Cellular's website, and pick a plan that works for you (I went $30/month for 1500 minutes, unlimited texting, and 1GB data)

If you don't want texting or data, and won't talk much over the course of a year, they also offer pay as you go plans. 80 bucks will last you 1 year, and give you 2000 minutes.

If you're a bandwidth guy get prepaid unlimited. 4gb will last me 2 days tops usually. I pay 45$ a month unlimited lte on boost mobile (sprint)

How in the fuck do you go through so much data? Do you not have wifi and just stream videos all the time?

Wtf I pay 10€ for unlikited texting, unlimited calls, and 8gb, why the fuck your plans are so expensive

More people, bigger network (gotta cover the entire US), fewer providers.

Back when Cricket was in its infancy, you got unlimited talk and text (phones still didn't really have data - black and white LCDs) for about 15 bucks per month, but you could only use it in the city that you were in. If you ventured outside of that city, the only service you would have is 911.

But when you have a land mass of close to 4 million square miles (almost 10 million square kilometers), and you are getting service through all of it, you gotta pay for the required infrastructure.

When you actually do non-basic bitch things in the day, there's no free WiFi.

If you can live without the internet, a super-basic Walmart special stupid-phone will do.
