Right into 2007. That's right, I'm getting a smart phone. I've been bitching to my wife about how much we pay for our phones. We've been on a plan with her parents forever. It's $224 a month, and thats 4 phones, 2 of which were regular ole "dumb phones" that the FIL and I use. Yesterday I told my know it all MIL that I was done. I was going off the plan and getting my own phone on my own plan. After basically telling her and my wife to Fugg Off several times when they said I couldnt just do that, I insisted they look on Verizon and figure something out. Lo and behold we were on an ancient plan that was more than any new plan. So, 30 minutes later we are on a better, cheaper plan, and I have a Galaxy 8, whatever that is, arriving in 2 days. Just $80 bucks up front, and now were saving $30 month too
