Yep. Mom hates the idea of a monthly fee (even though shes 1/2 of the reason I need a phone to begin with, shes concerned with where I am sometimes >_<), se we have always had the pre-pay shit phones. But, my girlfriend recently got the Verizon "InPulse" plan. Its $30 for a card (the card I picked anyway), and its good until October some time. The calls are only 10 cents each, but the beauty of it is, that won't matter. (one thing I don't like is the $1 per day access fee). Anyone with a Verizon phone, you can call for free. So, when I was telling my friends I got a new phone, I found out about 9 out of the 10 people I call all the time have Verizon.
I'm letting you guys know, this is a pretty badass plan, and has LOTS of potential here. I thought it was neat :P
I really HATE cellphones to be honest. I don't like how people can go to parks and stuff, and be walking around with their phones glued to their heads. In grocery stores, malls, everywhere. People don't ever get away from things anymore...its always with them.
But, if I don't wanna be hassled about why I'm not getting home until 3 AM, moms gotta call me. Thats only on the days she decides she cares, so I never really know when that is. :P
