Today, I realized I pay $160/month to get two texts a day. One from my bank telling me how much I have, one for my credit card telling me how much I owe. FML
BeautifulChaos27 tells us more.
Okay, first off, I am a women. As for the fml, I was complaining that I pay such a high price to get those two texts a day and the occasional phone call from my employer to cover a shift. Expensive paper weight is what it is and I'm stuck in a contract. With the debate on price, yes, very expensive. I get unlimited text as well as calling (god knows what for), and 1 gig of data which I never use up since I'm almost always in wifi. I do in fact have somebody on my plan with me but that only adds another 10 dollars a month to my bill. There's also insurance on both phones, considering they are smart phones and I'm a bit of a klutz. I know I could always shop around with other phone competitors but living where I do if you so much as want service in your home you have little choice. Any more questions? :P

Cancel the texts and instead use that 160 to of that which you owe, or start to at least.

Full service on an iPhone can easily run $160 per month. Sound like op is getting no calls, no online use, and just getting the two texts. Go make some friends and you'll get better value out of that phone

At least you're being well informed about the situation.

You should try a banana phone. Superactive-odular. Plus I don't think it actually gets texts, so you save money there.

Interactive-odular. Why on earth am I on FML at 2:51 in the morning....

That is an insane amount to be spending on a mobile phone plan! Mine is a grand total of $39 a month including insurance, and I never use up the whole credit (and yes, I do get more than 2 texts a day)

What? No third text telling you that your phone bill is due?

OMG. That is a huge sum to be spent on a phone bill. I pay @ 30$ / month for 3 numbers and we don't even succeed to use all the included minutes that we receive.

The **** kinda plan did you sign up for? You did not do your research, did you? Or are they charging you crazy roaming fees in an area that should have been covered but, oh, yeah, the towers down, sorry about that, we're working on it, for 3 years, and have made no progress,
