Ok, stop laughing.
I'm cheap, what can I say? I've always figured people were insane to pay what they pay for a cell phone. We get screwed here in Canada. We all know it, but somehow I'm the only one that didn't jump on board.
Then I see this $40/mo deal and it seems much better than I've seen whenever I've looked before.
First thing I do is ask my friends if they think its a good deal. To my surprise, they were all "meh" about it. Isn't it a really good deal??
One of my friends breaks it down for me like this:
He pays $140/mo for two lines and that includes a Pixel XL phone for him and a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for his wife (they got the phones at offset times). They have 6GB to share each month, NA calling, Global text. To me, $140 seems crazy... but is it? Over 2 years (contract to get the phone) that comes to $3360. They also got $300 as a cash card at Costco so that's $3060. I'd have to get two of these promo plans which over 2 years comes to $1920. A difference of $1140. That's a lot, sure, but what are those phones worth? Google tells me roughly $1800. Ie. he has a much better deal, assuming you want the high end phone.
Am I missing something? Is he not telling me the whole story (maybe I misunderstood and the cost of the phones isn't included?)
*IS* this $40 promo *REALLY* a good deal not to be missed? Or should I continue in the dark ages? LOL.

(ps. I work from home. I'm here most of the time anyway with access to web and landline. Of course I do go out and a phone would be handy, but it isn't as critical as it is to many)
