Welcome to India then... telecommunication services are at rock bottom prices here. And when you see that after putting '$$' glasses that will look even smaller amount to pay.

Tell that to my 6'2" 300 pound frame.

Real reason?

The 18 year old CHILDREN of 2012 live with their Mommy, so she pays for groceries. She probably bought the phone and pays for that service too. Sigh.

Let's check it. Spend $10 a day on breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, cleaning supplies, and cosmetics. TEN BUCKS A DAY! Good luck with that. Ten a day, 30 days in a month, $300. If you tell me anyone has a single phone plan over $300 a month I will call BS.

Only people who don't pay for groceries would take these "results" as credible. If you are 25 and your cell is the only bill you pay with your $9 an hr job, then your answer is meaningless.

People should switch to Virgin Mobile. $35/mth unlimited everything. Why pay $100-$120/mth with ATT with all sort of restrictions?

Because Virgin mobil sucks.. sorry but they dont get the phones that i want to buy and when they do get phones its late.

Anyway, this article just goes to show that Cell Phone service is TOO expensive here in the US. Its more expensive here than anywhere else in the civilized world. We may gawk at Europeans paying $700+ on a good smartphone over there, but they also pay like 1/3rd of the bill we did usually

*NEW* Turn your cellphone into a source of income for you and your family (an asset)... instead of a bill you pay every month (a liability)!
