So I'm talking to my gf and I called her at 8:45 pm.

I know that I have free minutes after 9pm like everyone else and their mamas.

Then at 9pm she told me to hang up and call her right back. I asked why and she said that because if I don't then all the minutes after 9pm are still being charged.

This I never knew. I always just assumed that any minutes after 9pm would automatically not be counted.

I called a friend who works for AT&T and he confirmed this.

He also said but is unsure and has just heard about it, but if you call someone at 6:59 am and talk till 3pm its still considered free because you called before 7am.

WOW.....

I didn't know.

That's just the $50 a month Yeti insurance for the cell towers.

Pretty sure nobody in the US has a cell plan thats 25 dollars a month, unless its some sort of prepaid or pay as you go thing. And most certainly wont have free nights and weekends.

Almost all the carriers do that, including my beloved Verizon.

where do you hear that US plans are $25. most plans are like $40 minimum without tax, gov fees, etc.

for $29.99 you might get a bare bones plan with nothing except 300 minutes.

im finding it hard to believe that if you called somebody at 6:59 am and talk till 3pm its still considered free.

however i have no doubt on the opposite.

I literally have 15,000+ rollover minutes. That's 250 hours. Or about 10 1/2 days of continuous, nonstop talk time. Plus my minutes that accumulate every month because I have 1,500 minutes a month but usually talk on free nights and weekends.

The logical thing to do here would be to change my plan to the cheapest $9.99 a month 150 minute bullshit but if you change your plan, you lose all rollover minutes (lame). And its a lot cheaper to just be under your minutes and have a surplus than it is to go over and get charged by the minute for overages.

Cell phones are ghey.

I wish I could get along without one. The week I spent on vacation in Mexico last month with no cell phone or internet was soooo liberating.

Haha yeah I knew that. BTW, I can independently verify that Jack does indeed have a g/f, and she's cute, and she likes him!

I think it's funny that you're pinching pennies, but yet your car/drift game is ballin outta control... where I pinch pennies on my car, but my real life game is ballin outta control.

We're like Yin/Yang man. Black/white. Straight/gay. Guy/whatever-you-are. You get the idea.

if you want unlimited minutes or until they cancel your account, use the T-Mobile My Fave 5 plan.

After you get the plan, sign up for grandcentral.com (google bought them a year ago). Now register the number on your Fave 5. Instead of handing out your cell number, give people your Grandcentral number. Grandcentral acts like a forwarding agent. One major problem, when they leave you voicemails, you have to check it through the website.

Also, if it works the other way, if you wanna call someone, you use grandcentral, and it bridges your number and theirs for free. Again the problem is, you need to use the website to dial out as well.

Shit, Sprint is only good for if you're going to spend massive amounts of time in BFE, because that's all the area that they have reception for anyway.

My wife never had reception in the city, in the house, etc.

But when we were on the road or whatever, pretty much in rural nowhere, she'd have max reception, 19 billion bars jumping off the screen of the phone.

Sprint = teh suck.

My daddy pays me cell bill.

or at least he did until the economy tanked and people stopped wanting to install new floors. Now i pay his.

I've never had a problem with sprint reception in the DC area, until i got a new job at this country club, which is like a deadzone for sprint.

Hey Hey mofos.

This thread ain't about you guys.

What's up with all the other stories?

This is about me.

All about me.

Nothing about you guys.

All about me okay?

Geez.

Bunch of egotistic mofos, seriously.

Always talking about yourselves.

Now everyone start walking around me since the world revolves around me.
