My wife and I both got our Samsung phones free with switching our Cricket line to Metro PCS over a year ago now... we pay $60 a month for service on both phones, she has 3gb data and I have 1gb... Just made a 2700 mile road trip and had service every time I wanted or needed it. There is no need for expensive phones or service.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 has a price tag of $930.
A coworker told me a tale of woe tonight — he and his girlfriend got the same model of phone, from LG. They kept having it die, and kept taking it, and their vendor just kept replacing the phones. Finally his girlfriend got wound up about this, called the LG hotline, they referred her to Verizon, Verizon gave her another one of the same model, plus they refunded her purchase price (!). The new one arrived DOA, so she used the refund money to get a different LG model.
That’s perserverance. :^)
Somewhere in the mid 90s, I think my x86 286 with a math co-processor and extended memory of 1 megabyte cost me $2k.
I'm glad that meets your needs. For me that amount of data on the road would be used up in about a week of using the phone as a hotspot for connecting my computer. Which model Samsung did you get for "free?"
In 1986, an IBM Clone AT 640K RAM, with a 10MB HD, 12" green screen Monitor, 2 floppies, set us back $$4250.00 An equivalent IBM set up was about $5995.00, but only had a 5MB HD.
So why are you paying so much? For what you paid for 5 months ($60/month times 5 equals $300), I got my iPhone 5s from TracFone for $199 plus $100 for 1yr service ($9/mo) with no contract, that's $300 total for a year and the phone is mine at $9/mo thereafter. Screw the $60/month you're paying! No contract, and the iPhone 5s does everything I need and integrates with all my devices (iPads, Macs, Watch, iCloud and TV).
I was really excited when I got my first 20 MB hard drive!

My first THREE cars cost 1000 dollars combined!!!
2 chevy novas and the dreaded.... K car.
drove to the shore a whole summer on baloney skin tires in the K car. :) 200 bucks.
Died at the end of the summer and i just left it and took the plates.
You can say that again. . . Oh, you did.
Funny story. my best friend Doug bought a 20MB HD for his Amiga 500 computer, cost something like $595. A month or so later I bought a 49MB HD for my Amiga 500 for about $795. My buddy said "Why'd you by such a huge hard drive? I can't imagine ever needing more than 20 Mega Bytes for anything!"
Needless to say, every time he now buys a larger hard drive I have to echo his statement from back then: "Doug, why are you buying that 3TB hard drive? You couldn't imagine ever needing more than 20 Mega Bytes!"
Hilarious. . . never gets old, used it dozens of times. . . we always get a good laugh out of it.
Today we’re spoiled.
Even the iPhone X is a bargain by comparison. For less money, it has 1000x the functionality in a 1000x smaller package using 10x less power.
People today are tech-spoiled.
Something tells me this article was written while standing in line outside the Apple Store the day before the release of the iPhone X.
What do LG phones have to do with the price of the Samsung Note 8 other than that neither is an Apple product?
And typed with one hand. :=)
Me too. 20 MB was more than enough to operate my business.
