$15 phone plans w/ unlimted calls/texts
[QUOTE=Murrican;6534413]The mobile phone. OMG the terms are awful. You have to prepay of course but then they charge you for texts and data and everything. Every motion is a purchase decision. It's designed to bleed you and it's clear it's because they can.
[/QUOTE]For mobile phone. When I first started, I used to have a plan that had limited calls/texts, now you can easily find prepaid plans with unlimited calls/texts but limited data. So long as you're not streaming videos, 3-5 GB / month should be sufficient.
I like the $15 Boost plan that simply slows you down to 512kb if you use over 5gb/month, but never cuts you off. Even 512k is plenty fast enough for web and most apps, just not streaming video.

TMobile also has a very decent unlimited calls/texts plan, but they do cut off data if you use up your data.
3.5gb data for $15
