total phone cost $2100.

So you're playing $132 a month for that tiny amount of data and your calls.

You're being raped.

And paying way over the odds. Essentially, the carrier is lending you the money to buy the $700 phones and charging you hefty interest.

In the UK, I pay $20 a month for a sim with unlimited data, minutes and texts. I buy my phone unlocked and have no 2 year bullshit contract. When I want a new phone, I sell my current one for a few hundred, and get the new one.
I think you guys have better plans than we do. Ours suck really.

I'm now paying $120 a month, $20 of that is for my 5s. I get 2 GB of data, I pay for each text (I don't text much), 300 minutes, and Wi-Fi hotspot.

Which reminds me, does anyone know if it's true that when iOS8 is released I will no longer need to pay for Wi-Fi hotspot?
