i can't bring myself to spend hundreds of $'s for a phone. not when i can pick one up at dollar general for $10
I'm not quite THAT cheap but close.
Yeah, I'm pretty cheap myself...but that is Costanza cheap.... :P

i use a t mobile prepaid. between last year and this year, i will have $110 wrapped up in cell service and my $15 cell phone.
Doesn't sound like a bad idea...I'm pretty sick of payign monthly for an amount I feel isn't worth it. My girlfriend has the G1 phone, so if she wants to continue payign for it, then go ahead...but I want out. Realistically, I'd love to not have a cell phone...but I just don't want to put up with people bitching about it.
Pre-paid sounds like it's up my alley of cheapness.
I'd like to argue with Jerry Seinfeld on this...cheapness is a sense, and some people have it stronger than others.

i just can't justify spending $140 per month (2 lines) for cell service.
I no longer can either. I've had enough of it. I could use that money towards something else that is much more useful (e.g. school supplies, which I am struggling to find cash for.) :roll:

I pre-ordered one for my wife today online. We both have the 3g currently, but I'm not sure I'm going to get another iPhone. I may go for the Dell Streak when it comes out.
The only people we should try to get even with...

Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
I just use my company phone provided by my employer. Haven't paid a phone bill in 5 years.
We used to go that route, but then I talked the company into paying a cell phone stipend rather than providing a phone and so I get money every paycheck to apply toward having a cell phone. The company saved money and I got the freedom to have control over the phone and plan that I have.

Well you can unlock and jailbreak the phone....and this way you can use the phone on another carrier (tmobile) and not have to use a data plan if you dont want to.
Yea it was a bitch to get this phone but I eventually got through. But yea.....just as hard as getting pj tix.

I am perfectly happy with my "dumb" phone. :geek:
