Jimbo 133 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I cannot believe the cost of running an iPhone in the USA, its insane ! me and Mrs Jimbo were looking through our bills and I was amazed we pay AT&T $180 a month for our two iPhones. As well as your monthly tariff for your regular call usage, 1400 mins call time, we have to pay $35 a month just for the iPhone data, my wife gets unlimited data as the account holder and I get 2GB a month, we also have a $30 for unlimited texts. that seems crazily expensive. Jeepers! I'm thinking it'd be a decent idea for me to pick up a fairly disposable pre-loaded mobile while I'm over there, whaddya reckon? It might be a good idea if you think you'll be making lots of calls, you can pick up pay-as-you-go phones pretty much anywhere but you need to set up your plan online so your best bet might be to buy one at a Network store, if you will be calling home take a look at localphone.com you can assign a local number to your international contacts, you just need to load up your account with funds first, its very good, I can call England for 0.6p per minute. Just remember to leave your Roaming Data off on your iPhone otherwise you'll have a redonkulous bill when you get back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2005 the only PAYG phone I could afford in the states charged you the same for receiving texts and calls as it did to send them If someone text you when your credit ran out it wouldnt let you read the message!

Besty 4 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ta. Liking BiteSMS, the quick reply function is class. Got an HTC set-up for my first page aswell, looks decent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6033 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Been looking at getting an iPhone in May when my contract runs out but looking at the prices they can fuck off. Literally 50% mark up on any other phone plan plus the privilige of paying an extra £150 for the phone on top of that. Think I'm going to hold off for a dual core or 4g phone and stick to my £20pm for unlimited texts/internet and 500mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2284 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Ta. Liking BiteSMS, the quick reply function is class. Got an HTC set-up for my first page aswell, looks decent! The quick reply with the persons picture on is canny. Also like the ability to set specific alerts for different people, schedule messages and the all important privacy feature! All things that Apple should have integrated from the beginning imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35232 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 IPHONE people. When you post on here and you quote a long post that doesn't all fit in the box, is there an easy way to get to the bottom to start replying? I find myself having to press and hold and slowly scroll down with the magnifying thing on. Is this the only way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35232 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Dunno actually. Haven't tried outside Safari. Will have a check. That whole magnifying thing and the ability to scroll back through words to make corrections is a bit shit though tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
