Here in America I get a free new iPhone every two years. I pay $60 a month for unlimited internet/call/texts, and I use about 100G of data a month

Do you actually get the latest most expensive iPhone at that price? What's the value of the phone if I may ask? It sounds like a somewhat okay deal. Although I'm not that keen on having to pay $1440 over two years since I at the moment spend something like $100-200 over two years, but for someone who wants the latest iPhone it wouldn't be too bad at that price.
Unlimited internet/calls/texts is something we have over here too for $30 but it doesn't include the phone. I think that's also a bit of a scam though unless you don't have internet at home.

No when I’m up for an upgrade, I get the cheapest new iPhone for free. This year I got the se 3, and I only had to pay fee/tax, and I bought a case and screen protector. So it cost me less than $150 total. I have an unlimited data plan for me and my wife so it costs $108 a month which is $54 per person

Thanks for replying!
Yeah those prices are similar to what I’ve read about before. You and your wife are spending almost $3000 every 2 years just on phones which is a bit much but unlimited data does soften the blow.
Well, the comforting news is that as far as I know most other consumer products are cheaper in America than in Northern Europe and many other places. But the “required” bills like rent, phones and internet are in need of some kind of regulation I’d say.

Oh yah, it costs over $1000 a month to rent a bedroom near me. Decent internet costs me $110 a month, and another $108 for unlimited data phone plan, but I need the unlimited plan cuz I usually use 100G of data a month
