Does anyone subscribe to ANY cell phone service and pay their monthly dues, say $59.99/month AND actually just get a statement for $59.99/mo.?
It seems like I keep upgrading and upgrading my monthly plan and I STILL get charged for all kinds of random shit.
Have any of you kids figured these carriers out? What's the trick? Tell me. How do you beat them?

Well in another life, I worked in Radioshack. First there are a lot of taxes that you aren't aware of that get tacked on. Over and above that, you can get the unlimited data plan (min, texts, internet etc.) for around $200 w/ verizon. Of course there are cheaper alternatives. Just get unlimited data (if you have a pda-type phone) and send emails instead of texts.
taxes make it not $59.99/mo
Get on the family plan with one of your bro's, mom, or dad... and get hooked up. I've been working for 1.5 yrs and am still on the fam plan.
check out sprint's SERO plans. They offer 500 anytime minutes and unlimited text/data for $30/month + tax
Taxes aside... it just seems that no matter what plan you subscribe to, they always get you with charges for something or other. I want a plan that doesn't have ANY extra charges for random shit.
Say you monitor your phone use and realize, ok I've been using less than 500 minutes for the past few months, I'm going to pick a plan with at least 500 minutes. Fine. But then you get charged $1.49 for each 411 call... you get charged another $1 for each text message... you get charged a service for this and then for that... so after it all sums up you're paying $100+. So what does the $59.99 plan cover?!?
So now suppose you pay a little extra, say $5/mo. to get unlimited text. Then they'll get you with out of zone calls etc. It's always something new. Bastards.
I'm just aggravated 'cuz I just got my new phone bill, that's all. Ofcourse I can afford it and I'm going to pay it... I'm just NOT happy.
I simply want to pay $59.99 and I want $59.99 to cover EVERYTHING. Is that too much to ask for?!?
I know you shouldn't sweat the small stuff... but I keep feeling like I'm getting ripped off each month. Argggghhh.
maybe we should all use walkie talkie instead of cell phone I hate my bill too
Don't use credit tariff plans, use prepaid ones instead. Besides, you can always order bill detalisation - all your calls, texts and "shits" will be there.
