There are latest model iPhones available that cost no more than other
popular smart phones, and Verizon, at least, doesn't give a damn what
smartphone you have...the cost of service is determine by the package
you want. I got my new iPhone for $30 out of pocket.

You can get a new iPhone 4S for ninety-nine cents with a two year
contract. I think you can get an unlimited talk, unlimited message, and
a GB of data for around $100 a month and that would be the same for any
smart phone you choose. Multiple phones on the same share plan would be
less per phone.

The two year contract requirement doesn't bother me. We've been Verizon
customers for more than 15 years, and have no incentive to switch
carriers. The carriers' plans are pretty much competitive.

You've indicated you have a smartphone with a data package. On a per
line basis, I would guess your costs are about the same as mine.

Nice try, asshole.

For a hundred bucks I get 1450 talk minutes, 1450 messages, and 1.45 gig
of data. It'll take me several month, hell, maybe a year, to use up all
of that.

I may not have used that many minutes on the phone (cell or wired) in
my whole life (certainly for the last 20 years). That is 60 days on
the phone if you never hung up.

Of course I think there are people who don't ever hang up these days.
What the hell do they have to talk about?


This past week one of my clients wanted me to write and add an entire
new section to a brochure we are revising. He was leaving for Europe for
a couple of weeks of business travel and we spent nearly three hours on
the phone discussing it and taking notes while he was at his office,
being driven to BWI, and waiting for his plane. That accounted for 175
minutes, according to my call logger (billable hours, you know).

Apparently that is the price you pay when the work you do is cerebral
and doesn't involve banging nails into 2x4's.

The messages part intrigues me. I have a nephew in his senior year at
University of Chicago who has maintained a 4.0 average (math major), who
racks up more than 2000 text messages a month, virtually all to his
girlfriend at Cal Tech. She also has a very high GPA. If they go to grad
school, I'm hoping they go to the same one so they can move in together
and communicate in more socially satisfying ways.

It sounds like the phone was actually slowing down the process.

Without phones I wouldn't have been able to get what he wanted.

I use mine a lot for work, but I really don't know why some people need
to be yacking in their car, and worse yet, in a damned store. It ****es
me off when people are clogging up the aisles yammering on their phones.
I was in Quick Trip and a lady had on a full headset, talking away, and
the guy behind the counter told her to take it outside. I loved it!

So the expense of the phone, and service, makes it OK (in your mind) to
pay for that rather than settling up with he people of the US who yo
have screwed?

"Verison"

What an ignorant ass. Verizon spends kazillions of dollars promoting its
brand name and our psychotic buddy in Connecticut still can't spell it.

Virgin Mobile...what's the advantage of that brand's cell service?
