Internet and mobile communications is rapidly becoming intertwined into every aspect of our lives. It will cease being a convenience soon and become a necessity that requires a large cost to participate in consumer activity like purchases and transactions and other seemingly unrelated activities.[/QUOTE]
I agree...Just don't get trapped. It is not a necessity to have all these data plans and smart phones.
We use Consumer Cellular and have two lines for $44 per month. Right now we are only buying the 500 monthly minutes and a really small data plan. It works for us as most of our long winded calls are made on Ooma ($3.75/month). The plan has no contract so we can go up in minutes. For $10.00 more we can up our minutes to 1000. We used one older ATT phone and bought a new smart phone from Consumer for $65.00. The old ATT was free as it was from a plan we were in 5 years ago.
Hey they are just for making phone calls...Right. It is for us. $44.00 per month!!
