A couple years ago I switched from a standard, contract-based US cell phone plan to a prepaid service it has felt so much more natural. Have a messed up my autopay and my phone just stop working in the middle of the day? Yep. But You just find some WIFI, pay, and its back on in minutes. I know exactly what my service costs: $35 dollars. No fees, taxes.
> Have a messed up my autopay
I stopped ~all autopays when (Boost Mobile?) deduced 200 instead of 20usd from my debit account one month in college. They refunded the difference relatively quickly, but I racked up 5 or 6 overcharge fees before realizing; ended up being a pita for an already broke 18 y/o to figure out.
I was a broke and stupid kid. Never use a debit as an autopay. But since then I like to track where each penny goes as it goes.
That sounds awful and it's not even cheap!
I guess that shows how bad the alternative is.
How much is unlimited talk, text, data, hotspot with a watch data add-on where you are from?
edit: Actually I was wrong–it is $30, not $35.
My phone bill is 10€. I get unlimited calls and text, 100Gb 4G/5G then unlimited 3g, in France.
I could also get 50 MB data, 2h calls, unlimited texts for 2€.
