Talk a lot, save just as much

Yet another way to save money that people dont pay attention to: No-Contract Cell Phone Plans. ive had Virgin Mobile for about 4yrs now, maybe a bit less or a bit longer, and i havent been unsatisfied since i joined. like most teens now a days, i dont like to talk on the phone..but ill text til my thumbs fall off! with that said, the $35 plan is the most crucial. yes, $35. i only get 300 minutes a month, but like i said before, i never talk on the phone. i get unlimited texting and data usage. why people are turned off by No-Contract phones? to be honest, i have no idea. its not like the service is any better or worse than the other companies and you can choose a phone thats just as good as the phones they have (including iphones). With No-Contract companies, though, you have to pay full price for the phone you want. so an iphone would probably cost you about $400. BUT, from how cheap the plans are, in the long run you save LITERALLY half of what you wouldve paid for a contract phone. Another plus, if you ever feel like you need to turn your phone off for financial reasons, by all means do so. no fees, no waiting, just go to your account and do it. turning it back on is just as simple. so why not give it a shot?
