I'm 67 years old, and I pay my own phone bill.

If I could find someone else to pay it for me, I would let them do it in a heartbeat!

And speaking of heartbeats...:eek:

Also old enough to fail to grasp the concept that posting in a thread that you think is a waste of time ultimately results in you wasting your time. :D

The OP is just posting a lighthearted thread that seems to be popular. No need for the negativity.

Making OP aware that such trivial threads starts won't add much if any significance to their lives is not a waste of time. :apple:

I'm 35, I pay my own bills & buy my devices on my own (along with my partner & daughter's). Is this not the norm?

I got my first cell phone at 17 years old. I paid the bill then as well & the pager bills before that.

My age is private. Ive been paying my own bills over a decade...

My parents never even gave me an allowance, bought me clothes or paid for any knick knacks like cell phones. When I was in high school I had to wear what was lying around the house (mom's hand me downs) or buy it with Christmas and Birthday money. All I got was a roof over my head and enough food to feed my belly. Teens and young adults who have parents buy them phones are spoiled; not to sound bitter (actually I am very bitter) but I never got the sort when younger. Once I was 18 I moved out and worked f/t to support myself and got my own apartment. Never got a dime from my parents even when I was living with them pretty much let alone once I moved out (except the basics; food etc). Being independent didn't make me a better person btw; it made me more bitter.

Since you used the term knick knacks....I feel pretty confident guessing the age range.....

Late 20s, bought my iPhone 5 outright and paying about $20-30 per month on prepaid.

I used to be on plan and paying about $50-$70 per month but I travel often so there were some months I didn't use the service and still paid hundreds of dollar for nothing (and have to pay for phone bills in the other countries). Prepaid is good for my nomad life now.

Parents got me the 4S for a late 18th present, and 5 for a late 21st.

44, iPhone 5 for myself and wife, iPhone 4 for oldest daughter. Youngest still has many, many years before justification for a mobile communication device can be made. I pay the bill and it sucks!
