Consider the source.. I usually assume pretty much the opposite of
whatever harry says, is more in line with reality.


Ignorance is bliss.

For $26 a month in France, you get:

- Unlimited minutes for calls in France, to both cells and landlines.
- Unlimited minutes for calls to the US and Canada, both cells and landlines.
- Unlimited minutes for calls to landlines in most of Europe.
- No charges for calls received.
- Unlimited text messages and SMS in France.
- 3 gigs of data a month, then they throttle you down.
- You automatically connect to the company’s wifi all over France and its territories.

You do not pay for calls received in Europe. You pay the cost of the
receiving phone when you call that phone. Might cut down on robo calls.

There are many places in the world where the standard of living and
quality of life for the average working person is now higher than it is
in the United States. Standard of living/quality of life includes many
factors: decent housing, adequate diet, easy availability of health
care, mandated number of vacation days/paid sick leave days, free or low
cost higher education for one's kids, longevity, clean air and water,
good public transportation, lower priced internet access/cell phone
access, a decent pension, et cetera.

We've either fallen way behind many other countries, or we've allowed
erosion in our quality of life so that the very wealthy can enjoy more
wealth.

And this has what to do about who pays for the phone call. Part of our
decrease in living style, is a predatory government who has never met a
spending bill that was not over funded
