So I want to "upgrade" my phone. I thought I'd look into these stupid droid things and see what I could get. I can get a low end one for 30 dollars, which is fine I don't need anything too fancy. Of course it requires I add a 30 dollars a month data plan to actually do anything with this new phone.

Well fuck that. So all these people updating facebook and shit with their iphones and shit have been paying an extra 30 dollars a month? Good grief, I refuse.

I hate phones and shit.

Yeah you can't do the Internet without paying for a data plan on those things.
I just got the Blackberry Curve 8330 with a data plan, unlimited texts, and share minutes with Mandy.

i use the internet a lot of my phone so thats why i pay it for my blackberry. Now with the blackberry though i never want a phone that cant do all these things. Me and jenna are on the same plan and i only pay 75 a month still. I dont think thats bad.

haha, you just found out you had to pay extras for the data plan? Yeah, that's pretty standard. If you want an iPhone, you're paying probably around $70/month for the plan. That's how the company makes the majority of their money. They practically give away the phones at a loss knowing they'll make it back on the plan. I'm perfectly fine with my phone only being able to make phone calls. That's what I use it for. I don't even use a text plan because I don't text. I only text in response to other people's texts. And that usually won't got beyond 1 or 2 texts.

My bill is 70 for Dem and I... plus I think another 10 dollars for stupid text messaging. So if I added this stupid data package, it would be like a hundred dollars. I have to be missing something here.

I'm on the internet enough as it is. I don't need to be on it on my phone.

I think me and Mandy pay $150 a month now for both of us to have data plans, not sure because we haven't gotten a bill yet. I'm gonna see how much I actually use it and decide if I want to keep it or not. I like the email part of it but besides Facebook I havent used the actual Internet on there. I'm at a computer for most of my day so I dont really need it.

I didn't just find this out, I always knew it. It just blows my mind how many people pay for it. But if Ryan is only paying 70 for him and his girlfriend including his data plan, I have to be doing something wrong here.

I think he meant he only pays for his part of it and its 70 for him. because its 75 for me, 150 for me and mandy.

yea well you guys work near a computer. I dont so thats why i like it.

and phil mine total is 120. Jenna gives me 45 i pay 75.

150! I think that's what we pay on our combined Verizon bill including our phones, land line, cable and internet. Unless I'm now looking at the wrong bill... which is entirely possible. HAHAHAHAHA.

we got 700 shared mins and unlimited text. Then she has the $5 insurance and i have the $8. Comes to about 120 bucks. I get a 20% USPS discount.

Nevermind, I pay 227 for all that.

I have 3 HD boxes, 2 of them are DVR, internet, and cable with a movie channel package and I pay like 190 a month. Plus 150 a month for cell phones with data plans and unlimited texts. And yeah we both got insurance on the phones since it would be a shitload to replace without it. And Mandy got a TD Bank discount.

yea our cable and internet bill is pretty high. But cheaper since we switched to verizon.

This is why I'm not getting cable when I move. I don't have cable now and I really don't miss it.

See I don't use my phone very ofter so I pay $10-$25 a month depending. I don't live off of texting like half of my school does.

texting is the best. No need for pointless phone calls. Ive texted out of work to my boss a couple times too.

I never thought I'd really be into texting a lot or going on the Internet a lot on my phone, but then I got this phone and do it constantly.

Its the same as having a computer in your house now. My dad didn't think we needed one but then we got one and now it would be absurd not to have one. Eventually phones are just gonna all have data plans.

Phil and Frank were dead set against cell phones when everyone first started getting them but eventually they had to join in.

Tu, I dont know how you dont have cable. Its 2010, not 1920. I want everything to keep upgrading. Where's my flying car?!

My Verizon bills are 150 for wireless and 170 for cable. 320 every month.

Well, if you're not into sports then you could just download any shows you're missing.

I'm not a big fan of watching shit on my computer. I liked to be stretched out in my recliner.
