Even if the monthly rate is lower than another company you can be sure a stream of fees and hidden charges will follow. Yes there are. For a while, I had a $60 unlimited plan. The only reason that changed was because I added people tot he plan. And someone even mentioned have a $30 monthly plan. And a 5 one, too... DPsx7 posted... Although phones can perform a lot of tasks they don't perform any specific task that well. Which tasks are they doing bad at, though? DPsx7 posted... I'm generalizing for the majority of people with one. They are ignorant or lazy. Obviously there are a few cases, military or first responders, where it can be handy. Yeah. But there are other jobs that can benefit from it, though. I can say all jobs can, but a lot could. I just stated some for the military since that's something I know. Sure, some people are lazy and maybe they don't need a phone. But again, that's based on what they do in their life. If they are always out running errands, or just have a very busy life, then phones can help, too. $60 is a lot for just a phone. I mean I don't even like paying for PS4 online unless I find a sale. I try to double dip when possible by getting PSN credit for 10% off when stores offer it, then buy Plus online when Sony has a 'get money back' event. Everything. They aren't as good as an actual GPS or digital camera. There's no contest when it comes to games. Handhelds destroy a phone thanks to a thing called 'buttons'. Calls are calls, that's a draw. What else would you do with a phone? Sure. Handhelds ARE better for games, but the phone does have some games that handhelds don't have. Whether you like them or not is a different story. But some cameras are better. But not all. Plus, convenience. As for GPS, it works better than some of the ones I have had in the past. Not to mention, it constantly updates. Even in real time. And you can always get other GPS apps that have other functions, too. Like if there was an accident recently or something. Those are pretty good, too. Not only that, but it can remember your routes. Mine tells me how long to get to work and home everyday. And on Sunday, it tells me how long until I get to where I go to play Shadowrun. Which can help if I go somewhere unfamiliar to get food to bring to the game on my turn. So, I believe that a win for cell phone. And smartphones have other capabilities. Again, everyone may not use them, but lots of people do. Having a calculator or bring able to take notes even if you can't find a pen or paper. Having you address and phonebook with all your numbers in it. Or being able to get someone's number instantly added to you contacts.
