Who the fuck is paying $250/mo for their phones?? I literally pay $20/mo. Unlimited voice and text, 5gb data, and pay as you go past that. But I'm on WiFi almost all the time so I've never used a lot of data.

Or does that include the cost of buying a new phone? A new android phone is like $500 and lasts probably five years. Doesn't add up

I'm assuming they financed a flagship smartphone through the cell provider. Still a pointless waste of money
