no, it’s not unlimited texting. each text is 3 cents, and i buy a card with 40 dollars on it about every 3-4 months. talking is 10 cents a minute but i only use it to talk when im lost.

“$250 for a phone? how long will it last? what are the monthlies on these things?”
Pete, $250 was for the most expensive phone but I believe that dropped to $200 (Blackberry is around the same). You can get much much cheaper phones with Virgin Mobile if that’s all you need.
Rob, your phone and charges are very low, but do you get unlimited texting, emails, etc with that? I haven’t seen anything come close to the Virgin Mobile plan.
Pete, I spent $250 on my daughter’s phone–her only birthday/Christmas/Chinese New Year present, to replace a phone she had for 2 years. And we don’t have cable, we don’t have a landline–aside from paying for her phone and mine ($100), I spend $50/month for phone service for both of us, and about $18/month for internet ($50/month divided with my upstairs and downstairs neighbors). We live very small (as opposed to living large): I think even Rob would be shocked.

“is there anywhere in the world that runs on that model?”
no, places where you don’t buy food you have to grow/hunt it.
