Oh I'm not confused when it comes to data plans. Pissed off when looking at them? Sure. But never confused. I know what game they're playing.

My parents want to buy me a phone but they are spooked by the prices

An android with an unlimited web plan is so tempting... yet expensive ._.

I'm actually starting to consider a phone mainly due to the fact that I can't get a hold of certain people. Work schedules and such. :\

If I ever do get a cell though... I only need it for calls. No real extra functions needed. (Well... maybe Twitter.)

I need to get a new physical phone rather than a plan. The one I have, the screen likes to fuck up a lot and it's irritating to get a text message only to see the screen give me the equivalent of a middle finger.

U.S. Cellular did tell me that I can go in and get a new phone at a cheaper price at any time, so...I might as well do that.

I think all you need to get Twitter on the phone is text messaging, right?

Can't you also just text Twitter directly without a client? I don't use Twitter myself so I can't check, but I could have sworn that was the case...

Actually, you can. I totally forgot about it. You have to text to a certain number. I used it briefly before I got twitter for blackberry.

Get a prepaid one then, like Net10 or Trackfone.

Cheap enough, and you can get a phone without extra junk.

I had a TracFone before but I honestly didn't like it all that much, mostly because I never talked to anyone enough to make the minutes worth my while, and the minutes are friggin' expensive last I remember.

I still use Tracfone. I buy more minutes for about $40 every 3 months or so. When I had a landline, it cost about $52 per month.

I buy 200 minutes as needed. I bought double minutes, so I get 400 plus whatever promotion bonus I can get from codes found on the Internet

It's not monthly, it's just whenever you need more, although they can expire if you don't buy minutes for a while.

Pay as you go... that's tricky. I could do that but some providers don't let you store minutes. In other words, once you cash the card in you have X amount of time (30 or 60 days) to use up the minutes; otherwise they go poof.

I don't understand this either.

You have a limit on how long until you must buy more minutes. So you buy 300ish minutes every 3 months for $30 or so, and just do this every so often. About as cheap as it goes.

Unlimited texts, unlimited Internet, £15 a month. Quite worth it, considering I don't call people. I always text.

Our grand, superior corporation-controlled system sneers at the concept of 'Unlimited'!

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
