I have better uses for that money than to donate it to some greedy carrier.


Grand Total = $562
You don't actually HAVE to buy a data plan with your phone (or a contract for that matter) The way I have my phone set up is that I have something called a Tab, so whatever I pay a month (around $30) I pay 10% extra to pay off my Tab (So $3 extra) and I can pay off my Tab whenever I wan't. As for the Data plan I have a flex plan that goes like this:


5mb= $5 ( If you just wanted to check your mail this would do)

10-100MB = $10

100-200MB = $15

200-300MB = $20

300-500MB = $25

500- 1GB = 30

Or if I started using more Data you could buy 2GB for $25
