And when Melanie got her first smart phone, Debbie and Drew added her to
their family plan because a plan with enough data for using the internet
can be really expensive if one's income is limited.

Subject: [blind-democracy] one more thought about costs of smart phones
I paid for Melanie's new Android phone when the old one became too disabled
to work properly because she is in too much debt for large expenses and she
is caring for me at this point. It wasn't the newest model and it wasn't an
I phone. But somehow, with all of the necessary costs and fees, the total
was more than $400 and that was many months ago. When my son-in-law finally
bought his new Android phone, the cost was around $1,000.
