I would not mind to own a cheap phone like these ones but in US you have to pay $70/month for the voice and data plan so it is way more expensive than the phone

- nsmartt 14y agoThe phones could reasonably neglect data in favor of wifi. I don't know if they do, but it's plausible.
- matthiasb 14y agoIf you leave in an area with a good wifi coverage it make sense. Agreed.
- PeterisP 14y agoThat's a pain. Here in Europe I've got a cheap voice/data plan for 6$/mth; if/when I start hitting the 2gig cap then I can switch to 10$/month for unlimited. I do have to pay full price for the phone(s), though. You really need to get some functioning market competition in USA telecommunications, it seems nonexistant.
