Cell phones, we call them mobile phones, along with monthly packages.
I have an elderly basic Nokia which has served me well for many years, I don't make that many calls on it but it's useful to always be able to contact or be contacted by friends and family. My daughters though say I really should get a more modern phone especially as it is now difficult to read the screen!
In the city this morning (called in from the Apple Store on a previous thread) and did a quick check as to what is available. I've decided which phone to get and on what plan, so was wondering how these costs compare to what you lot have to pay as quite often technology hardware appears cheaper with you.
I'm going for a monthly plan that gives me 125 talk minutes, 5000 texts and 256MB of data for a charge of £7.50. I do have to commit to a 24 month contract but I do get a free Samsung Galaxy Ace in with the deal. The plan is way more than I ever use in talk minutes and texts. I don't see that I will exceed the 256MB data either considering I always have my iPad with me and have never got close to using up the 1GB data limit I have on that plan.
At the moment it seems that £7.50 is less than $12 so what do you lot pay?
