[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 904653, member: 88422"] In Europe (many countries), Australia, the US and Japan, phone monthly fees start at a minimum of 160 Reais per line. Then if you add features it is quite easy to go over 600 Reais per month for just two phones. In many places, mobile phones are much more of a really high expense in relation to the convenience they provide. The only time it makes sense to have the financial burden of a mobile phone is when you need it for your job - as you do. You obviously are OK with buying a new phone every couple of years, so you are the exact type of consumer that the mobile device manufacturers prey upon. [B]Mobile devices are predatory capitalism and consumerism.[/B] [/QUOTE]
