What phone do you use?

Not everything. Manufactured good are cheap, phones are cheap, so I figured phone connections would be cheap. But I guess the network needs to be actively maintained by people who live in America, which can't be said for manufactured goods, so...

Well I have verizon wireless and its about $60 for 450mins and unlimited texting.
Then $30 for the data plan for the droid.
Then about $10 in taxes and for insurance.

Idk about others, but this is a pretty normal phone bill for most minus the data plan.

Data is $2 for 2GB, it rolls over every month. Texting is usually free unless you're on a plan that charges.
Prices are almost always final, including all taxes. Never heard of insurance for a phone connection.
 
Damn... my speakers just konked. Surround sound for PC >>>> iPhone 4 IMO. Guess I'm not getting a new phone. Now I have an excuse to buy a decent receiver and HDMI sound card. Plus I'd have to wait a month or more to get the phone and I feel like spending some cash now.

The iPhone 4 will cost me upwards of $1000 and on top of that its reseller stock, so it will get locked to the first SIM I insert. I can get an Onkyo HT-S3300 and an Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD for less. All the modern entry-level receivers have dropped analog input in favor of HDMI audio decoding (previously they were HDMI passthrough with analog input/SPDIF). So I need to get a sound card which can do HW accelerated OpenAL with EFX/EAX for gaming and send it losslessly to the receiver. My X-Fi Titanium can do it over optical but DDL/DTS Connect has a noticable lag.

I could always work in a call center for 2 months and abscond if I really wanted $1000. They pay $500 a month easy for starting salary if you can speak English well. But my dad would never let me do that and besmirch my family name.

I might end up getting both eventually if I sell some old shit I've got lying around and my old sound card+phone. Having trouble finding a reliable seller. There are few on eBay but the sellers can't be trusted http://shop.ebay.in/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw="iphone+4"&_sacat=See-All-Categories
No one in my city where I can pick up the phone myself. There are no reliable couriers; sending anything expensive guarantees it being stolen.

The insurance is for the phone incase it gets damaged or lost or stolen.
 
Insurance is provided when you buy the phone, not part of the plan. But its basically a scam. You can't claim anything. Same with most other kinds of insurance like health insurance. Almost anything that could possibly happen to you is not covered.
 
I onced spilled soda on my old phone and was able to get a brand new one with insurance, so it does come in handy for me.
 
I own a Samsung Genoa (C3510)

I also have a refurbished Nokia 3310 (Fixed by yours trully)

yeah, and its the fastest phone I ever had!

press the button and the menu immediately shows up! :D

I just love that one, mine's unlocked, though, I already have rogers on the genoa...
 
haha if you buy them on Rogers or Bell, (in other words, in the service provider's stores) its bound to be locked to them, might as well purchase it straight from the manufacter, pay 20$ or something extra to have the same phone, but unlocked.
 
I'm rockin' a $20 Motofone F3 at the moment, but I'm gonna grab a Samsung Captivate or Dell Streak (has awesome gorilla glass).

Its very simple, but I'll miss the 4+ day battery life it gets with the E-Ink screen.
