I used to waste about $100/mo on cell phone service with data.

Since I lost my sweet 90K job in the recession, and learned the value of a dollar, I now pay $10 for 3 months of service at $.14/minute for US calls. The $10 goes toward those minutes. It’s through a 3rd party carrier that leases space on AT&Ts network.

I use the phone very lightly, so it’s just costing me $3.3333333333…/mo for cellular service.

Sometime I see all of these people with smartphones and wonder “what recession”?. I am sticking to my grandfathered t-mobile plan for as long as I can. I have 2 lines with unlimited data and text for less than $80/month.

You can still go out an find a used iphone (edge only) or a nexus one (3g) and get the lowest everything plus plan for $49.99 and have them add the $5/month data.
