my 2 cents

I was about to write a post “Buried my iPhone plans” and tell the world that this device is far too expensive for me.

At the end of this post I just wanted to paste together how cheep one can have the same service with another mobile device. Really really surprised I noticed, that I was not able to find a suitable offer.

If you want to have ‘a little Internet’ on your mobile device you have to pay fees about 50 EUR per month. If you try to compose the service t-mobile offers with the iPhone contract out of the standard fees you even have to pay about 65 EUR.

So I said to myself: “I don’t need a contract with Internet flat and 100 free minutes a month”. “I use my mobile so rarely that I would have to pay far too much with such a contract, no thanks!”

To convince myself of how much I save when not having the iPhone, I grabbed my last 12 O2 bills and summed them up. Confused to see that I payed in total more than 800 EUR. On no single bill I have more than 100 minutes of phone time, and in total I consumed about 10MB of GPRS traffic.

With the current iPhone contract I would have paid 600 EUR. Is the iPhone expensive? I don’t know. But for sure I have not the right contract at the moment. As first action I buried my article about “Buried my iPhone plans”.
