Comment on India forces WhatsApp and Telegram into permanent SIM binding
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI think a bunch still do. I don’t have it because I just purchased the phone with no cell plan. I just use wifi and if I go out I use my work phone Hotspot to provide wifi to my personal. I use Google voice so I have a number and some of those chat apps that my friends use to keep in touch. Im in my 40’s and have never had a cell phone bill still. Outside leaving the house, I honestly cant believe people are paying $60-$100+ dollars a month when you can get everything it does these days off wifi. For the minor inconvenience ive ran into sometimes I still think it’s worth it for the price.

I just pay 15/month on mint for the lowest plan. Just so I can get directions and basic Internet while I’m out.

Isn’t that like a month’s rent in some parts of India?

It looks like that plan allows 35gb of data use in a month before it throttles, I don’t think I’ve ever used that much mobile data.

The $15 plan used to only be 2GB, which was honestly still enough for people that only use mobile data sparingly.

Yes, that’s adequate for someone who knows how their phone works and doesn’t watch video while out and about.
