Re: T-Mobile to introduce $40 "Simple Starter Plan" /w 500mb high speed data, unlimited talk, and te
No one has ever said that certain MVNO plans can't be better value for certain individuals than the $40 T-Mobile plan, but you refuse to accept that for some others, the reverse may also be true. Everyone's situation is different, and neither you nor I get to tell them what their best decision is.
Actually on Amazon the Lumia 521 (as opposed to the 520 - which is AT&T)for Metro is about $85. Again and again, you assume that someone with the ability or willingness to make a small monthly payment (in case of the 521 it's $5.25) also has the ability or willingness to make a much bigger one-time payment. That simply isn't true, and despite your seeming insistence, the inability or unwillingness to do so isn't "dumb."When you get down to it the per month cost is cheaper with metro pcs or AIO wireless (buy the Nokia 520 for $60-70)
No one said that you didn't. But if you are going to count the taxes, you have to count the taxes Metro charges when you get your "free" phone too.pay about $14 a month of taxes on my T-Mobile plan...
