Attn: Phone-fags RE: Saving $$$

checking my vzw account shows over 6k texts in/out last month.

jesus.

Fuck yeah son! Jon and I both have it now, we can tether too!

Crazy… How do you NOT have text thumb?

$hit at that rate I thought you’d be texting replies to me… When I’m standing in front of your face talking.

I feel honored to have had a face to face conversation… :lol

Nice dude, good work.

I think mine is $42.00 a month for everything including the ins.

eat less

they have these multimedis phone through VZW that only need a $10 data package and have email and such. I think im bumping down to one of those. LG env3 or touch or some samsung. 3.2 megapixel cameras too

yeah, can you get the 2yr contract deals if you’re mid way through another contract?

like, my bb contract is up in november…but if I brought my phone to them and was all “i dont want a bb anymore, give me that samsung pos for the advertised 2 yr price and ill sign a contract for 2 years from today” is that doable?

i dont know.

I know if you cause a big enough stink they will do an exception upgrade and give you the 2 year contract price with an addition $50 fee

Honestly, your phone seems to be a big part of your life at 6,000 texts and at least 900 minutes per month.

Keep the phone, keep the plan. I am 100% you can find a way to save $60 month by cutting back on something else.

I assure you, I cannot.

with my new income, after bills, I will have ~$180/month for food, gas, and anything except bills…not including cc bills.

i need:

a: better paying job
b: another job on the side
c:cut back on bills.

and the only bill I have to cut back on, that isnt a set amount, is the phone.

Just do as people in Ticonderoga do, and don’t pay your bills.

well down here in america we have this thing called ‘credit’ and I reckon I’d done fuk mine up if I were to do somethin like that.

Yeah, it’s sad. Several friends have had car’s repo’ed, can’t get contracts with cell companies, overdrafted bank accounts, and they all think it’s normal to do things of that nature.

Yea, it’s LEISURE use for the majority of that i’m sure. I don’t understand why so many people think they truly NEED internet and all the shit on the phones that’s on them. Unless your place of employment requires you to have it on your phone and you are compensated for it or those features on the phone help you make money I see absolutely no reason at all to have internet and e-mail on your phone.

Well it’s pretty American to not pay your debts.

My iphone does everything and more tthat i want it to . I was at Macys the other day returning UGG earmuffs. Yes thats right UGG earmuffs, which i had bought as a gift for my girlfriend for xmas, the clamp on them ended up breaking, so i attempted to return them without the receipt since i lost it. I had my debit card with which i purchased them with, and figured she could return them without the receipt. Well she couldnt, and said there was no history of the purchase. I said fuck that shit, hold on a second. So i got on my trusty iphone, logged onto my SEFCU account, went to purchases by date, 12-20, to 12-25, and BAMMMMMM there it was. Showed that bish my phone and was able to put the almost 100 bucks back on my card, via the transaction number i gave her.

So all in all it comes in wicked handy. I can access anything i need to at any time. So ill suck it up and pay the 100 bucks a month i pay. Without a doubt worth it.

So, getting a $100 back, but then paying a $100 a month x 12 months x 2 year contract… Yeah it evens out :lol IDK guess Im a cheapskate.

Benny IDK if you know anyone you can really trust with your monehz but do what a few of my friends have done, and What I did for my girlfriend when we had our iphones…

Get a friend or two and get on a family plan, and just split it… Will end up being much cheaper… only problem is depending on whos name its in has to trust whoevers under it, and whoevers under it needs to trust the person who their giving the money to for the phone bill.

+1. The only reason I have e-mail and internet on my phone is because my employer wants me to have it. Of course they pay for it so I’m not too terribly concerned about it.

That’s not the point.

You are just a cheapskate
