    My bill was $38 last month.

    Did you mean that this was a lot or dirt cheap? Sounds quite expensive to me.

      Genuinely curious, what service are you comparing this to that makes it sound quite expensive? Asking for my wallet

        A very basic phone plan from one of the top three ISPs where I live (Taiwan). Comes with 3 GB of data a month. (I’m on Wi-Fi most of the time.) Costs ~$6.1 a month. No 5G connection, only 4G. ~22 cents per minute of calltime.

          $38 usd is considered low in the US because even though we all have a high median income the cost of everything is extraordinarily high, rendering most americans de facto impoverished
