****ing Cellular Companies

[Buehler445]

So my phone is starting to get hostile. About time to put the old girl to bed. It's an old 5s. I'm with Verizon so I got it with the contract. They don't do that anymore and the data is cheaper so it's probably time to change plans.

Talk about a ****ing fisting.

So currently, the wife and I are on a plan with 8 Gig. I'm never around wifi, so I plow through the data in season.

40 for my line
40 for her line
90 for data
$170/month with a phone every 2 years, which IIRC were like $600. So, for the 2 phones, so the phone accounts for $50/month.

So I look at the new plan
40 for my line
40 for her line
90 of data will get me 16GB. Cool!


But wait. I gotta come up with a phone. Probably accounts for $50/month. Shit. But data is cheaper. Let's figure out what kind of data I can get for about the cost of a phone every 2 years. Still round about $600 for a phone. ...Let's see....$40 of data, I can get....2 ****ing GB. Mother****ing 2.

**** you mother****ers.

I get paying for the device. I pay for all the other devices in my life so it makes sense I'd pay for a phone. But it ****ing pisses me off that they took the opportunity to jack the **** out of their prices. The cocksucking mother****ing sacks of ****ing ****.

****.

For example if you buy an iPhone 7 32GB it's $27 a month, plus the $20 line charge that's $47 total and the only thing you pay upfront is the $20 upgrade fee and taxes. At least in California you have to pay tax on the full retail price.

Also the 8GB plan is $20 a month cheaper but there's a promo right now where if you upgrade on DPP you get 2 bonus gigs per line. So that's 12 GBs for the price of 8

OK, thanks. Verizon does a shitty job advertising their plans. So if it will save me $40 total for 2 lines, to go to a new plan, that makes the thing more palatable.

Thanks.
