Cell Phone Plan Recommendations for 2003?
scubacuda asks: "What do techies think about the plethora of cell phone plans out there? (While accompanying a friend at the Sprint kiosk, I couldn't help but dissuade several people from signing up with Sprint.) When I told a friend about my new AT&T "minutes w/o limits" plan ($99/mo for unlimited ANYWHERE minutes), he talked to Nextel and had them match the plan. What plans do you consider to be the best, and when have you been successful in negotiating your plan down?" Ask Slashdot did a similar question during November of 2000. It's amazing how fast cell phones have been adopted by people worldwide, and I think it would be interesting to see how much more you can get for your buck now, as opposed to then.
Just buy the cheapest one. These things are throw-away items nowadays. Unless you want to be like that asshole whining about his battery in his 600$ penis replacement...
Next year, throw it away and get the latest, cheapest one again.
I'm over thirty and don't give a flying fuck about impressing the wiggaz or the chicks with toys, and still use a four year old StarTac (analog! No LCD! No colors, programmable ringer tunes, emails, internal lithium batteries, etc.. It's a fucking telephone, it has numbers, a speaker and a microphone.)
Bunch of spoiled girls.
Have you 20-omething fashion slaves ever sat down with Excel and figured out that if you didn't spend money on trivialities during your entire 20s, you can be debt-free and RICH by your 30s?
