The one thing over here that is far worse value than the UK is cell phones. I have never seen such crazy high prices for contracts, and if you dont have a contract that gives unlimited minutes you pay for not only calls you make but calls you recive. I mean WTH someone calls you and not only do they have to pay but you will have to pay too. Same for text messages, its crazy. Pay more per month, pay more for the phone and pay not only to make calls but to recive them as well. And if you get a non contract phone and dont top up for a month you lose all your credit and they cut your service, whatever you do you cant win. |
Yep, don't even get me started on cell phone plans. I am still under an old plan they got rid of along time ago. Basically it should be $50 dollars a month for unlimited everything like Cricket and Boost. I am thinking about switching to Boost once my contract is up in September. Paying for texting is the biggest scam ever considering it uses way less resources than a normal cell call. That is why I currently have it disabled on my phone because I refuse to pay more for it or 20 cents a text (Sprint).
