I'm newly 20, and I totally agree. I dont understand why I need to pay $70/month for minutes I'll barely touch, and then $20 more for unlimited texting when pretty much all I do is text. I rarely call people, ever.
I find your comments interesting.
I am stone-age and I don't text. Occasional e-mail, but no texting.
When I want to contact someone, I call and if they are unable to answer, I leave a message. Very quick and effective for me.
My daughter, on the other hand, is just the opposite. She texts all the time.
There seems to be at least two different demographics concerning phone use. Eventually, I would think we will see plans that address this difference say:
Plan A - For the texting type
Plan B - For the talking type
Each with an add-on data plan.
Just an idea.
As per this poll, I'm "Stone Age" too ... I have T-shirts older than some of these posters! ... and I've come to the same general conclusion: its not a "cost issue", but rather, a "value issue".
I had to smile at this comment as I have items of clothing over 30 years old.
And I agree regarding the "cost issue" verses the "value issue."
