  Wow, surprised anywhere still offers that. Is it normal for your country or just a particularly good deal for you?

  what alternative is there? No one has the same apps

  Use any of the alternatives depending on who you need to message. Most of the people I want to message are on Signal and I still have WhatsApp for the rest.

    My Ting plan is about $30 per month, unlimited talk and text for 2 phones and including the first block of data we usually need. Data is billed combined at something like $5 per GB, so we really prefer to say under 1GB which is the first block.

    Yes, it is a good deal. Less than half what many people pay. I could afford to buy 10GB of data for the cost difference and that is typically the limit is on many “unlimited” plans.
