    Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

    Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

    Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

      Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

      I pay for a year at once, so I only pay $15 per month for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of mobile data. Mint is the carrier I use
