- maximilian 16y agoHigher rate my foot. Cell phones in Switzerland and Germany are crazy expensive. It costs people like 0.20 cents to call someone with a phone, and I pay like 0.25 cents or something. When I used to have a phone in Germany, I used to spend upwards of 90 euros a month calling like I was used to in the states, where I basically have as much calling as I need for $50 (including tax and all that sneaky bullshit). Cell phones in europe are a little cheaper if you don't talk much, but if you really want to use it as a primary phone, they are insane expensive. Thats why everybody texts like crazy here, but even texts are expensive.
- pavlov 16y agoHow much do you call to get your bill up to 90 euros? In Finland, 3000 minutes of talk time and 3000 text messages costs about 38 € on a major operator. You can often get a switcher discount to bring the price further down.
- smcl 16y agoIs that 0.25 cents (as written) or 25 cents ?
- deno 16y agoHe probably meant 0.25 hectacents :)
- maximilian 16y agoI hate it when I do that! Obviously 25 cents. http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-dollars-from-cents.html http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-...
