We’ve all seen the hype surrounding the iPhone and how cool it is. And I won’t doubt that, it’s an amazing little device. However, with that amazingness also comes a contract that means you will be selling your soul to the devil.
Never, in my life, will I give my business to AT&T and their absurd practices. All that over a phone that will cost me at least $60 a month to own. Let’s look at the setup costs here
- $500 for the phone
- $150 to drop my contract with T-Mobile
- $60 (at least) a month for service
So up front, at least $700. And that’s assuming I get no accessories with it. That’s garbage. For $700 I can get a new Glock for that which will last for years, instead of a trendy phone that won’t last 3.
And the most ridiculous thing about your $60 a month? Only 200 text messages. With T-mobile I can get unlimited text and data with my sidekick for $20 a month.
So let’s review: iPhone: Nifty and cool.
AT&T and their plans: shitty and not worth it.
I can wait 5 years. Can you?
