Should You Dump Your Wireless Carrier Contract?

[younggeek1]

pre-paid is the way to go!

[zahid194]

Provider: Mobilicity

Price: $25/mth

unlimited talk

unlimited text

unlimited data

free tethering

caller ID

[logandpezshow]

my dad pays more than his car payment

[Jutsch80HD]

Provider: " Hutchison 3G Austria"

€30/month incl. tax

iPhone 4

4000 messages

4000 minutes

unlimited data

free tethering

Dataspeed: 3-5Mbit/s down and up

As soon as the contract is expired it really is very easy to switch here in Austria because every carrier uses the same 2G and 3G bands and you can even take your phone number to the next provider.

[DiceWarfare]

[brandonwilliams987]

I am very happy with mine, I live in the UK and pay £15 per month and get unlimited internet & tethering, 3000 mins and 3000 texts. Couldnt be happier. What do u guys in the US pay then?

[ForceUnleashed83]

I never use contract phones, I just buy them with out a contract and use pay as you go sim cards or micro sims for the iphone because I get carried away and end up with a huge bill and on top of it carriers are now offering pretty much the same deals as contract, of course you have to top up in order to get your monthly allowance but you dont HAVE TO so i find this is the best way to go, minus the hassle of topping up that takes a few seconds online

[olestas]

In Latvia, Europe, I pay 40$ for 3 phones with 200mb internet, free calls inside network and 0.16$/min to other networks. But salaries are 400-500$/month.

[Programmer7]

I pay for two $54.99/month plans from AT&T. The cheapest you can get for two smartphones—200MB of data, 450 minutes, texting charged per use. I have two smartphones (specifically an iPhone 3GS and 4) that I use. They're each based out of different states and area codes, so that's why I have two individual as a opposed to a family plan. I wish I could afford more data and texting, but I'm fine right now.

[JSantana319]

I decided that I will no longer extend my contract again. After my contract ends in July I will keep using my current carrier, but at least I won't be attached to it and if I decide to leave, then I'll just leave.

[rainbow6vegaslover]

122.50 for 2 phones (Iphone 4 Android) the iphone is 55 andriod is 40 and 30 in CID and all(with taxes)

[Telstar85]

But be aware, when calling them, that they're more than happy to offer you a 0.02€ / $ change to your monthly bill, if "only" you agree a long-term contract for a year or two. That's why i very seldom change my plan.

[boob1019]

boost mobile is fine... andriod phones 55 / month 4 or 5 bucks for taxes

[toyota420xp]

no not at all

[permanetmarker2004]

metro pcs end of story lol 

[tkto13]

TELUS is great!!!

[0scarpleininger]

I have an iphone 4s with a 1 year contract. I paid 740$ (5100 kronor) for the phone and with my contract i get 1 gig of free internet, (and after that it doesn't cost more, they just lower the speed) 3000 free texts and free calls to anyone with the same carrier, and the last bill that I got was on 17,87$ (123 kronor, Sweden) I think that's pretty good ;)

[niklasxl]

i just today got an iphone 4s and the best thing is that its unlocked :D but they cost more here :( (Finland)

[cart2334]

i just have a cheap prepaid android phone because in Canada we mostly have 3yr contracts and plans are more expensive and i get data sometimes but i use wifi mostly

[coci3076]

80%

[coci3076]

I love my google voice phone, because *0% of my day is in front of my laptop so i have very little use for a cell phone and everyone i call is right in front of me too. plus i can talk to them face to face.

[mariofreak91]

I was very hesitant to move from my $30 monthly plan with TMobile to get an iPhone at $70 a month with Verizon. Had I known my bill would end up just short of $100, I'd have just bought an iPod Touch if anything. 3 months in, as much as I love my iPhone, I'm considering just dropping the contract, and selling off the phone to make up for my losses. There's a certain novelty to using a simple phone.

[rags360]

Prepaid £15.00 a month for 3000, texts 300 voice,

Unlimited data and free personal hotspot😜.

But how days I don't use my texts or voice mins but I use about 8g of data😜

[ChandelureV]

I pay $25 bucks a month for unlimited Data, unlimited Text, and 300 minutes. It's fine for me.

[iPhoneTipster]

i use starhub in singapore and i pay sgd$58=usd$46 a month and i get 300mins free, unlimited texting and 12gb internet an also i get to pick 12 numbers to which i talk the most and get unlimited minutes for those particular number!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Knightridermsn]

I am on Virgin Mobile and have a Samsung Intercept (android smartphone) and pay 40.00/month for 1200 Minutes as well as unlimited text and unlimited data. I have had not problems with dropped data or dropped calls always get 3g coverage. and the pest part is NO CONTRACT :).

[jramsey2014]

$30: Verizon, unlimited texting and 2gb of data. Like it!

[NiebaumCurran]

£60 plus a month for a contract phone is crazy, I currently pay about £27 a month which is about $42 on phone that is worth the same money as a iphone4s

[dgm2006]

You didn’t even mention TracFone. That’s probably the cheapest way to go with no contract, and still have a cell phone. I pay less than $100 a year. And it has fantastic coverage.

[nb44wwrc]

@dgm2006 god, tracfone customer service sucks and their phones are horrible

[dgm2006]

@nb44wwrc No amount of customer service makes up for the cost of your cell contract. If you’re considering dropping cell coverage and replacing that with Wi-Fi, and not considering TracFone, you’re making a very big mistake. They may not be Smartphone’s but they are getting better all the time. Have you even looked at them on the TracFone website?

[jamesassbag]

@dgm2006 Tracfone spent too many years charging a fortune to people that didnt know any better, or people who did know better but couldn't get a contract for whatever reason.

Fuck Tracfone

[nb44wwrc]

@dgm2006 I've had to deal with their customer service way too much (for my mom) and I'm not even a customer myself. That, to me, is a huge turn off. I'm sticking with VM right now as they have unlimited data and messaging.

[Boymentation1994]

I'm with Virgin Mobile in the UK and they're SHIT. The signal is just terrible.

[RyaanHaarris]

I have to have my Macbook Pro's volume all the way up to hear you comfortably in every one of your videos.

[OhYouIFancyHuh]

@RyaanHaarris my 2011 macbook air is at half volume and it's fine

[wildboyz322]

@lockergnome

I think sprint gives you 30 days to try it out before completely signing up with them. I think tmobile does that too (not sure about tmobile though).

[OhYouIFancyHuh]

how was this posted 13 hours ago and have no comments and very few views?

[MrMark509]

@OhYouIFancyHuh I agree, it is unusual but I guess people are all out shopping last minute. How can you not like this guy, Chris is a pimp LOL!!! a santa pimp LOL!
