Why is it always the case when it's the coldest day of the year I always have some kind of appointment I can't miss? I would much rather stay home, warm and toasty instead of traveling half way across the county.

Are these the problems white people have?

No, these are the problems cold people have.

What a difference a phone call can make!

I called my cell phone company to ask about a few things. My daughter's line is up for a new phone so I asked when the other lines on the plan would be up. Well they won't be till August BUT......since MaryPat had to replace her phone last month (her other one shit the bed) it was a moot point for her line.

Now I have 4 lines on the plan. I have unlimited everything including data, MaryPat has data added but for phone calls she is on shared minutes with Barb and Max. They have just the shared minutes and no data.

After calling the customer service rep and I figured out that it would be cheaper to change the whole shebang to 4 unlimited plans billed to one account.

End result? All 4 lines will have unlimited talk, text and data and it will cost me $40.00 a month LESS!

On top of that.......the phone for Max's line will cost me a hundred bucks. I can buy the same phone outright from my provider but they want $350.00 when it's not up for a new phone (holy shit). I can get the exact same phone on ebay for $189.00 and I was going to get 3 of them after my tax refund comes in but now I only need 2 at that price so I end up getting 3 of them for $90.00 less than I was going to pay.

Can't beat that with a big old stick!!!!!!!!!

Same for the iPhones when you are eligible for upgrades. If I buy my phone at the Apple store, it's like $500. Sorry, I love my iPhone but I don't think it's worth that kind of money!

We got our iPhones for $100 each, the 8 gig phones because we don't need 16 or 32. Those are even more money.

Then our usual unlimited plan is $170 / month but Matt's boss pays $100 per month of that because he uses the phone for work. We're eligible for upgrades this year too. Rumor has it there are going to be new iPhones out soon and I'm going to wait for that since the iPhone 5 does not thrill me.

The new iphone is supposed to have a 4.8 screen which I cant imagine that looking too good in the apple style. It will be a bit faster and OS update as usual. I have the 5 and its a cool phone very fast but the screen size annoying and alot of the apps dont work with the format so you just get black lined to the original size.

I have sprint and my family plan with 4 lines of everything unlimited is around 180 a month. I float a second phone line for upgrades its 20 dollars a month.When I sell my previous model iphone on ebay it covers the cost of doing it usually I make a extra hundred bucks to pocket and I get a upgrade every year so it works out well. I have a feeling the 5 might be my last iphone depending on how different the new one coming out is. The android OS has finally caught up or surpassed apple's OS for the most part in stability and performance. The new phones themselves tech spec wise are superior to the 5. I really like the user experience of the iphone and would like to keep using them its just they dont branch out far enough to keep up with the competition now a days. They like to just upgrade and tweak the original set up.

They both compare about the same.

And you can probably find the same results on any search to compare phones.
