Yet, in australia you pay $28 for 28gigs of data.
This is crazy!!! I know it’s old but I pay £15 a month for unlimited calls and texts with 200gb data. It’s also on a cash back plan taking it to £8 a month.
I pay 30$ per month with Mint, I just pre-pay 1 year in advance
Me watching this from the UK, when I play £12 (roughly $16) a month for Unlimted Talk, Text AND Data,. Jesus America…
In the UK, I pay £12.00GBP ($15.00USD) for 250GB data, unlimited video, social media, and music (YouTube, Instagram, X, Netflix, Spotify exempt from data usage), plus unlimited calls and texts. I also pay £30.00 ($37.53USD) extra for my phone (S23 Ultra), making the total £42.00 ($52.54USD). The £12.00GBP ($15.00USD) plan remains available without the phone. Share your responses!
Plans for phones are way cheaper abroad.
More regulation for services everyone needs. In addition to more competition.
Mint mobile data streaming is trash tho
In Shanghai [China], the average person pays between $5 – $30 for cell service. I pay about $28 for Internet at 1000mbps and get an extra phone line added.

Greed is the number 1 reason.

Taxes on our Cell Bills make most of what you Pay Every Month, along with the Plans and Features that you are on, as well!
Mostly greed. It's capitalism. They don't have to charge $70 $80 a month but they do. And they make alot of money
from canada your bills are cheap
luckily i only pay $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and data! Im on Verizons Visible plan with Party Pay and have been for around 3 years. Scared of the day they discontinue it…. theyve already started.
100GB is $52 in South Africa.
I pay $25/month bro. Who are these weirdos
It's expensive because CONGRESS ( manipulating to fill their pockets)
LEGISLATED that all television broad casting must be in digital format.
(Television was operating in the frequencies needed/wanted to create huge revenue.
Government Auctioned of the Frequencies
Bids won by T-Mobile and a few other split up the US market.
Supply and demand. Oh yeah, don't forget congressional members filled the pockets by (legally, insider trading
The cell company stocks.
Happened over 20 years ago..
