Extra $40 per month is not insane. But indeed it's higher than in Europe.
Partly that could be explained by lower population density.
Also services like Visible started to appear. They offer unlimited talk and data for $40.
- vzidex 7y agoI don't think lower population density explains it fully, for example Australia has extremely reasonable phone plans - you can get 15GB data/unlimited talk/unlimited text for AUD$55/month (USD$37/month) [1], and it gets even cheaper if you get 12 months up front [2].

- shawabawa3 7y ago> Extra $40 per month is not insane Maybe "insane" was a bad word choice. But it's more than triple the price (£20 is $25, not $30, and $70 excludes tax)
