I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
Trying to get a Christmas present for myself, been bouncing around a few decisions in my head. I live in Ohio, and this is my most recent point from the "recommend me a plan thread":

quote:

Well now I'm ignoring all of that because T-mobile has no 4G or even 3G where I live. AT&T and Verizon both do, but I'd be paying a lot more. Why do both of them have a +$40 a month charge on top of the monthly fee? I'm new to this whole thing and that seems ridiculous.

Edit: AT&T and Verizon both have 4G in my area, Sprint and Virgin have 3G. Might I be better off sticking with Virgin for a cheaper per-month on a more expensive ($450) iPhone 4S than a $200 iPhone 5 (or equivalent) from the other 3?

Edit 2: Ok now I am leaning to the HTC EVO 4G on Virgin's network, not the iPhone. I read the pre-paid OP, and that looked attractive. I just don't know if I want the Virgin plan or an actual contract, as they are pretty expensive. I can't make my mind up :(

I guess it just feels weird using a 2 year old phone on a pre-paid plan, even if it is a smartphone. But gently caress $100 for a plan. I could do T-mobile, their prices were decent, but literally zero 4 or 3G coverage where I live kills me.
