I bet you can find a smart phone for like $30-50 bucks, even a POS smart phone is better then a "Hood Phone" lol

Unlike these guys I understand what your talking about. If you work construction or in a environment where a smart phone could easily break than a flip phone is perfect. Sturdy and answers calls by an easy flip. Try answering a call on your iPhone with work gloves on and let me know how that goes.

Your missing the fact that the hood phone is not kept for lack of paying the price of a smart phone bro. The hood phone is kept for lack of wanting to pay for the high monthly bill required for a smart phone by these POS providers
I've actually thought of down grading to a dumb phone since the bill is like $30 difference. For the OP, you can check on Craigslist there's small businesses on there that sell dumb phones in good conditions for like $50 bucks.. [ October 23, 2012, 06:07 PM: Message edited by: SSF_5.0_WARRIOR ]

way i see it is this: cheapest verizon plan that i could see was $40 for the data plan, plus $60 for the cheapest phone/text plan. factor in the tax/fees, i'd guess it'd be around (if not above) $110 per month ..... which is $1320/yr (ironic i guess)
i got on a family plan w/ sister and brother in law, with a non-smart phone, which added $20 to the plan. I add $5/month to cover taxes, so my year-long bill is $300......or, over $1000 less than buying a smart phone
that was the way i justified buying my ipad last month

exactly!! the phone companies are jus bending us over...making it harder and harder to have a regular phone...there are making it so we all have to have data..fuck paying another 30 a month just for that... id be down for having a i phone but just using wifi when i needed but that isnt allowed..its funny to me how its the (norm) and im strange for not having one..they have really sold it to us americans. haha i even got hated on at the club.. (eww you have a ghetto phone!) hahaha

I Just decided I had enough of paying $85 a month for a phone bill, and I'm willing to pay the cancellation fee. My back in 2002 my 2000 Camaro M6 car payment was $219 dollars. Feels like my phone bill is a third of a car payment. Yahama has a special right now for 2012 R6's for 149 a month (10% down or so). In a nutshell, my phonebill was half of a motorcycle payment (laymen's term) [ October 23, 2012, 11:51 PM: Message edited by: TMA Turbo Donald ]
