Just as other countries get "ripped off" on gas prices and various other goods and services.

So you guys can just walk into the carrier store and not pay anything at all for your iPhone 6? Just $63 per month? If so that's pretty good. If not then it's no better than T-Mobile USA.

Yep! Or £48 ($74) a month no upfront cost for 6+
 
How much is your monthly iPhone bill?

$30/month. If you consider a full priced 64GB iPhone 6 is $750, that's approximately another $30 a month over 24 months. So it's the equivalent of a $60/month bill with a free iPhone. Deduct what you sell your previous device for and it's even less.

People look at me sideways when I tell them I buy phones outright, but as long as they can follow the math they finally understand.
 
128GB iPhone 6 Plus (no cost upfront)
Unlimited Calling
7GB data + tethering option
AppleCare+ (billed monthly, like the phone)
Voicemail, 3-way calling, etc
---------------------
$75/month

of course, my actual monthly bills are closer to $250, when you add in my 128GB iPad mini Retina (also billed monthly, $0 upfront) and international roaming each month ... :(
 
20€ / 25$

50GB data with no speed cap, unlimited texts + minutes.

This is the rare occasion when I feel I'm not paying too much for something...
 
Verizon
Unlimited Talk
Unlimited Text
12GB of Data (10GB + 2GB promotional data)

$40 plus taxes


My employee discount gets rid of the $40 monthly line access and a 50% off on data plans.
 
$60 Verizon

1 iPhone

2GB data
Unlimited text
Unlimited call

Probably switching to the $80 all unlimited at T-Mobile once I get my test drive to see the signal around where I live. Should have no problem unless the map is inaccurate.

I'd like to spend 10€ less than that
 
iPhone 6 - 128GB

Unlimited Texts and minutes
7GB Data - 4G
Spotify for duration of 2 year contract

£42 a month on Vodafone

Seeing as I paid for Spotify anyway, it's more like £32 to me.

NHS discount applied.
 
Verizon

What sort of an employee discount is that? The most I've heard of was around 25% off and certainly nothing waiving the line access fee (unless we are talking about Verizon employee discount, which I would imagine would be quite a bit better and more than a typical one).

It has to be an employee line...
 
2 lines on T-Mobile:

-Unlimited 4G LTE data
-Unlimited Talk
-Unlimited Text
-Stateside International Talk w/Mobile (15 dollars per line)
-1 Line of JUMP ($10 per month)

Total: Around $180 per month with tax
 
Vodafone Mumbai Pay as you Go (Prepaid)
Monthly recharge: $ 8
Benefits:
1. 300 minutes talktime
2. 500 Mb 3G data for a month

Works fine for me. Most of the long calls are on Facetime, Skype and hangouts apps.

I can't believe you guys pay hundreds of dollars or pounds as monthly contract fees.
 
How much is your monthly iPhone bill?

Called orange last week. After my first year I've reduced my monthly payment to £23.99 pm and that's for unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 1gb of data. Now I can listen to the radio on the way to work everyday if I want to as get 3gb the whole way

Edit: oh and I bike to work each day
 
Another main difference between mobile plans in the U.S. and UK to keep in mind is that in the U.S. minutes are deducted from your monthly allowance for both incoming and outgoing calls, while in the UK it's only for outgoing.
 
iPhone 6 (bought outright, no contract)
£12 per month on GiffGaff (the O2 network)
500 minutes (outgoing -- incoming are free)
3GB data, tethering allowed
Unlimited texts
Freephone numbers (080*) are free, unlike most operators.

I moved up to 4G for a month, but it's not much different to 3G on GiffGaff. Apparently this will improve in January after their new bandwidth agreement with the physical network operator (O2) comes into effect.
 
Spark NZ
NZ$19
100 Minutes (outgoing)
Unlimited Text
500MB Data
Free Facebook usage to 1GB per month
Free access to wifi at every phonebox in NZ to 1GB per day
Tethering/Hotspot are never charged in NZ, so free

I buy outright, but I got the 6 Plus on 24 months interest free
 
Straight talk - ATT sim

iphone 5S 32gb bought outright ($800)

unlimited - talk, text and data

data throttled after 3.5 gbs

$45 a month.... including taxes/fees (w/autopay)
