It's true, if you make certain compromises, you can save some money. In this case, $350 over 2 years isn't worth it to me, it would have to be some serious dough to get me to watch my minutes like a hawk. It is 2014 after all, and I have no desire to return to the days of paying for things per minute. I feel like it's less that it costs T-Mo $30 to handle that amount of voice / data usage than that they have determined the market can bear $30 for cell phone service so that's what the price is. Which is what they should be doing to maximize their profit, but I think that's the source of why there is so little differentiation between carriers -- if there was real competition, we would be paying a lot less.
