How long do they last, though? I pay R$44,90 for enough internet, plenty of phone calls and text messages here. If you convert it into dollars it sounds cheap, but don't consider our currency and the exchange rate - imagine that is about 1% of my salary. Is that too much? It's possibly cheaper here, I haven't lived in the US for over 10 years, so I don't know current plan rates.
They last as long as expensive phones. After you purchase one, you subscribe to a service provider who sends you a SIM card in the mail. I have Consumer Cellular for $29/mo. It includes phone, and unlimited texting. I use free wifi for internet activity.
1% sounds a bit expensive for only a phone. My Internet land line is $35/mo. Then I buy movies from Netflix. I keep my total expenses a bit under 1%.
Who would you Pick out of this list?
