Cell phone contracts: I'm an idiot

[FlyWf]

5 cents a txt and 30 cents a minute |= spending less than $10 a month. That's 200 sent text messages or 30 minutes of talking. The base text prices here are much worse than that, but the text message packages allow you to get comparable pricing.

Cbloom, you're also paying retail for equipment. A quick check of At&t shows that with a 2 year plan a RAZR is $0, but for their prepaid they want $200. Prepaid is better for people with terrible credit or who only use their phone for emergencies. Everyone else is better off with a plan.
