$275 / Month for ADT should be grounds for criminal prosecution for elder abuse. I guess this answers the question about how those companies are still in business.

On the strip club charges it's quite a common thing to rip off drunks. Accusations were made about a local club and stories of guys passing out in the brothel and being charged for $800 worth of services. Even one of my flatmates had her bf steal her credit card and charge it up at the strip club. Police and fraud charges happened with that one. tl;dr don't go to a strip club or brothel completely wasted.

When is anyone not home to watch the house? 90% of the household is unemployed or disabled. The other 10% is the grandson making thousands of dollars selling art drugs online.

I did a free credit report via Mint unfortunately it didn't give me any information about the 5 negative collections attached to my credit. Is there a way to find out who exactly I need to call to "delete" (pay) each one and make sure it's not a negative on my account anymore?

The three major credit reporting agencies are required to provide you with a free copy of your credit report each year, and this is where you get that free report.

dividertabs posted:"I blacked out at a strip club and woke up with £4000 in charges, including £1600 on the company card." A smart boss works out a payment plan, waits for him to pay off the debt, then fires him. Gives plenty of time to interview his replacement as well. Boss is GWM.

That doesn't make that much sense - by definition, by the time he's paid it off, his boss has had to pay him a good bit more than £1600.

After talking to my coworkers about cell phone plans, people are getting seriously raped on them, and it is all their fault.  at Sprint's trade in your iphone every year thing. My coworker is paying like 230 dollars a month for 3 lines at sprint. I tried explaining that if they just bought some mid range android phones like the Moto G, they could literally buy new phones every year if they switched to Cricket based on the savings. People really like iphones I suppose.

Lazy people justify their expenses by saying "it's not worth the time I could just spend making more money", like they're gonna spend the 30 seconds it would take to fix a phone closing the Fooberman Account instead.

I'd literally starve before I'd give my iPhone for an Android. Our family plan is 5 iphones, unlimited everything, 330 a month. Average data consumption monthly is 25gb. It's Sprint. I doubt Cricket had better things to offer. Annually I can update to a second newest iPhone model for 49 bucks. The plan includes iPhones in contract Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Oct 11, 2015 |

I constantly find it amazing the effort that people go to justifying their poor cell phone choices. I use Ting myself, but Cricket would probably work better for your situation. A quick check on Cricket's website shows that you can get 10 GB for for $55 per month per line, making a total of $275 per month. They also offer a "group save" discount, which with 5 phones is $100 per month, making your bill $175 per month. If a few of the lines use less than 10 GB per month, you can save $10 - $20 per line as well. Grand total, you'd be saving over $155 per month on the phone plan. All that doesn't include the cost of the phones, of course, but its all no contract as well. Oh, and this uses AT&T's network, which in most areas is much better than Sprint's. In my mind this is an easy way for you to save some scratch every month. But you know, it's your money. The fact that you read this forum probably means you've got a little bit of disposable income to burn. You can make up your own mind on how you want to spend it. TLDR - Contract plans are usually BWM.

I've built a very successful business on the back of smart phones, AND it's a tax writeoff, and I still refuse to get the 128gb option. What a rip off.

How much is avoiding the "goddammit my loving [insert app here] won't work" frustration because for me, it's probably worth $10/mo at least in having a decent phone with access to my city's best network. I was on the att network three years ago in my area and gently caress ever going back to them.

Going with the new Apple upgrade plan thing which is just a 24 month installment loan ended up being GWM thanks to prepaid on T-mobile for $30/month with 5 GB of data. Even with $36/mo for a 64 GB 6S, I'm still paying less than I was on Verizon with only 2 GB/month of data. 100 minutes of voice a month but really, who calls people anymore?

TLG James posted:After talking to my coworkers about cell phone plans, people are getting seriously raped on them, and it is all their fault. When I replaced my phone a couple years back Verizon was really pushing a similar plan for my Android. My options were something like $15/mo and a new phone every year, or $240 upfront. The sales rep just would not back down on the monthly plan. "$15 times 12 months is only $180! You're actually saving money, and you get A NEW PHONE!" "...but I have to keep paying for it. In a year and a half I'll have paid more money on the monthly plan, while if I buy the phone outright I can just keep using it for free until it breaks." "...but $180 is less than $240! Why do you want to PAY MORE MONEY?!?"

iPhones get more support direct through apple, and have less issues. iPhones are more expensive, but will save time because they usually just work and are supported for way longer.

It's almost as if both options have both negatives and positives and there is, in fact, no one clear winner in the battle. Unless you buy a blackberry in TYOOL 2015. Then loving lol. Personally, I got grandfathered into some old unlimited everything family plan through t-mobile, and I throw $50/month my parent's way every month to cover my 1/3 of the bill. Since it's just a portable facebooking and shitposting device, I buy an unlocked middle of the road phone in full every 2 or 3 years because I don't trust t-mobile enough to finance anything through them and not have them mess with my bill. I mean, I know I can, but why bother financing when I can pay it in full up front?

I just switch between budget carriers evertime I see a "free phone!" no contract offer. I have three android phones laying around now and didn't buy any of them. My carrier history just keeps getting sketchier (and cheaper!): TMobile -> Cricket -> MetroPCS... next will probably be Boost Wireless or something that's marketed only in Spanish.

Both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages, but just how many smartphone owners do you think are developing their own apps?

If everything with apple products "just works", why is it that everyone I know who owns them always bugs me to help them fix something for them? Also, why are there always 200 people at the apple store at all times waiting to get help with something?
