I remember when I got my first phone and I couldn't believe I was going to pay $40/mo for cell phone service. I went to get a new phone the other day, mine is over 5 years old, and the only phones I can get without data packages are small piece of crap flip phones. So I checked out the fancy new stuff and was floored at what people pay to have these phones! Basically if I want a new nice phone for myself and my wife I have to pay for a data package and the cheapest I can get my bill is going to be $70 + $10 + $30 + $30 + taxes. So I'm looking at over $160/mo for cell phone service. That doesn't include texting which would run the bill up to over $180 and it's only 700 minutes shared. I know it's cool to have the new "apps", but I'm thinking of joining up with the minimalists and ditching the cell phone altogether. I think we still have an option in e-crew for a pager #, maybe I'll go that route.
