I have just 10 more months on my phone contract and then I am dropping it. I have been using my T-Mobile G1 from Google for about a year and half. I found myself adding packages to my plan and getting more and better add-ons every so many months. My phone bill has become so expensive, I almost can’t afford lunch while I am at work trying to pay my phone bill. but on a cool note, i have driving directions to any place in the world. I really do not travel and the GPS feature on my android phone drained my battery. So I would have to turn the GPS feature on and off. Some times that feature would hang, so I installed “advanced task killer” and found that I constantly had programs running. Now that I was using that I found myself turning something off with my phone so often, that one day while in the shower I didn’t like the smell of my soap so I almost clicked it like I could turn off the soap scent. Way too much.
Unlimited text messages for $15 a month, meanwhile I receive about 20-30 total. Internet for $35 a month meanwhile I get 28mbs at home on my pc and only pay $45 a month. I am always home and always on my computer. Why in the heck am I paying for this ?
My phone bill is set at $39 a month right now with everything turned off and before the what ever extra fees t-mobile adds which for some reason isn’t listed until you get the bill. It’s like 6-9 bucks.
After my phone contract expires, I am done with the cell phone. I don’t like having people able to locate me anywhere I am. I like the freedom to say ” did you leave a message on my answering machine?” that way I can be out in public and hitting on the near by women instead of clicking on my Facebook app posting about what a great time I am having, as apposed to actually having a good time.
why do we tell our-self that we need to have a barcode scanner in our phone to see how great of a deal we would be getting elsewhere? Do we really want to shop at 6 different places to buy 6 items instead of one place? The amount you save verses the value of your time. Don’t forget the extra taxes of separate transactions. Time is money that I only have a limited amount of. Done with letting someone else live off of me in payments of “What I think I need”. Sure as a single man you notice that it’s hard to get a woman’s attention when you have very little to share or show off. you can have shiny stuff, fine, but you don’t have to make endless payments that are beyond the rationality of it’s usability.
Time to stop buying what I do not need and focus on what I really need. Why am I buying stuff i don’t need and trying to simply the tiny useless junk????
