ok so i agree it is a bit more hyped up in the US than it actually it. But u have to take into consideration that they also have family plans. So you pay the price you see on the list for the plans you choose for one line. and then when u want to add more lines to these minutes to text messages its only an additional 10$ for each line.
So for my family we have At&t. 5 people, unlimited nights(after 9pm) and weekends, and cell to cell (unlimited with any other mobile company), unlimited text messaging, 700 daytime minutes, and data on are phones all for 250$ a month. So i find that to me a good deal. i spent 2 months in lebanon and spent 400$ on recharge card (probably becuase i was used to all the unlimited stuff)
But yes i always ask why cant we be the same in lebanon, we have definetely improved in lebanon with the data plans and minutes and picking numbers to talk to with a discounted rates, but we still got a ways to go, and its not fair its so high and are wages are much lower.
