Only some Nextel/Sprint plans have unlimited incoming minutes. What planet are you living on?

LOL, I've never heard of a cellphone plan with the concept of 'incoming minutes' and I've had cellphones in 4 different countries. Sounds like you guys are getting ripped off in the states.
Basically you get charged anytime you're using the phone, regardless of whether you initiated a call or received one. Of course most people have unlimited night/weekend calls and free calls to others on the same carrier.

I've never had a land line in my life, I got a cell phone when I moved out of my parents house half a decade ago. I'm sick of it now, I'm dropping my cell phone and going with a VOIP phone. The cell phone companies keep changing the rules and I'm just not playing the game any more.

I swear, the advent of cellular technology was great and all. We live much more convenient lives these days due to cell phones and the like. However, I feel with the fairly recent introduction of unlimited cellular phone services such as Cricket that people are abusing their privileges. I don't like these assclowns with unlimited text messaging and minutes who don't even stop to think that my plan has a limit of sorts. Texting or calling me about every mundane detail of their pathetic lives. I vote for a motion to ban unlimited cellular useage plans. Anyone with me?

Don't answer the phone? Don't you have voicemail?

Nope I deactivated it because of morons like this.

@Torghn

VOIP sucks, trust me.
 
Good god stupid bitch called again. So layed it out straight again, and I swear, I swear to god. If she doesn't listen I will drown her and family, and piss on their graves. People are so fvcking ignorant.

I asked her why she didn't understand I pay for texting now. "You didnt explain that to me" "Yes I did" "Oh"

MORON. I'm going to slaughter this bitch.
