This is a good deal? Don't think so. Maybe if you have a large family it might be.

I renewed my Verizon contract about four months ago. Was grandfathered into a unlimited 4G data plan. Maybe by the time I have to renew again, Verizon will have a more reasonable plan.

    Just more debt thats all it is. See look. They want you on monthly payments. The phone keeps you at work your handy to find. It serves their purpose. Once again the cash isn't where its at it the labor you have to put into working on their asset structure building it up maintiaing servicing transport stacking checking out entering data etc. See all that has to be done. You get a phone so they can pester you to do more. Not only that they fix the price the usury is in the price of course which equals your labor and labor time to keep that phone. Not only that you pay monthly.

    Veriozoon isn't worried. I can hook these guys right up to the people that own this monetary system that is nothing but lending and loans very quickly. To you hey its just some corporation and you can't slap a corporation silly. If you found the person that owned it thats another matter. Then again they don't want to be found lol some people just have no sense. J.C. Penny stays open so does Sears vacant all week its like the 7th wonder of the fucking world. What else could you put in there Wal-mart? Its just to time consuming labor wise to get something else going it's not consistent with their thinking to leave a hole in the mall. Print all they want.

    See they don't care thats what people don't get. Get upset at one grocery store over something. Hey whats wrong with that guy? Your just going down to another store they own down the street. lol. Or some storeowner that owes them. No skin off their skevvy little hides. Return something ship they ship it back they send it to some outlet they box it up and ship it right back. They got the labor to do it. They don't fucking burn it. Especially hard goods. lol. Use your noodle.

    I have had the same costs for service for north of 5 years. When I got my wife a smart phone 2 years ago, she paid the same amount for her unlimited data plan as I have been for the last 5 ys. With 2 smart phones our costs are actually going down a couple of bucks for a 3GB data plan that more than covers us both having our worst case usage. I am sure single phones users take it in the back pocket, but we get more texts, more minutes, free tethering and more data than we can currently use for a couple bucks less.

    Metro PCS $45 a month 4G service. My wife and I both have an LG Esteem phone.

    My daughters just got no cheap frill phones, $25 a month.
    They got tired of buying cheap android phones and having them break under normal teen wear and tear.

    We pay about $140 in total for 4 phone accounts.

    I'm about ready for a cheap phone "Dumb" phone as well. The Screen on my LG cracked, and Metro PCS, refuses to carry parts for it. They told me to go to the Flea Market.

    Deal was you probably missed it I wrote about it. I dated a Russian girl. I asked her about the Soviet Union how rough it was everything that Americans believed. She told me that hey we have everything you have. I was stunned. I though she was lying this was back in the 90s when that occured. She was telling me about everything they had. I didn't know what to think at that point. Looking back I can see it was all true. She told me they had modern apartments and houses with all the same conviences we had wasn't long after the "breakup" of the Soviet Union. So I figure now hey they were just lying to us. Hey at the point she told me all of that I thought she was lying to me. She was actually incredulous that I didn't know that. 4000 miles of Iron Curtain sure dosen't make any sense when you think about it. I get the idea the communal system only exsisted in farm life. Sort of like a coop that other farmers have. Their farm belt is fairly large to.

    I can see the purpose in it to. There were riots the overthrow of the government. When people are rioting rebeling they have to give them what they want. So they did to a degree. Then again 4000 miles of a bs "Iron Curtian" should have been fairly easy to get around if one wanted. People tend to socialism when they think its going to lessen the load even here unless they benefit in other ways. So believe it or not most people like it. What prevents that is a monetary system of lending and loans that makes it impossible to get ahead. Just behind. Most people are always behind or neck and neck with what they owe every month. They like it like that. Not anyones fault. Very deliberate and keeps them at work.
