Now smart phone is very low price. But It keeps hidden many expensive which I must be bear otherwise we can’t use it properly. but it will cost you a lot more than that to keep it. Smartphones come with lots of hidden expenses, which cell phone companies do their best to disguise. Monthly plans can be very expensive, and you may find after buying your phone that you need more hard drive space, more applications, headsets and other accessories. What’s your idea about it?

Indeed, you are right, but you can always reduce as possible your costs

For example, although I own a subscription with one of the national providers existing in my country, I rarely buy a smartphone by expanding my subscription on 2-year contract with a higher plan, because I simply don`t need more minutes or internet traffic. Instead I choose to gather more money to buy the gadget I desire

hmmm… not applicable for me. i make sure i maximize my free minutes and other deals that came along with my package. also, you use free apps so as not to incur more cost.

It’s just my opinion that you only use free apps and not use not too much money to use those app and I think that you must be able to use those free apps without any money.

I think that in most of the cases, the majority of users imply free apps rather than spending money for similar apps that would provide the same performance. For example, Viber does the same thing as Whatsapp, what`s the need to pay extra?!

There are some apps that generate reliable results only in paid versions such as the security apps. A free version won`t provide you essential information about tracking or to record in the background, without the permission of the person using your lost smartphone

It depends on the type of Smartphone that you need, and the amount of talk time / data that you require. In the United States at least, you can buy some very affordable Smartphones, they won’t be amazing, but they will be affordable and functional. Furthermore, there’s many low talk time / low data plans in the USA that cost less than having a landline with long distance would cost.  There’s also a few providers which offer very limited, free cell phone services like Freedom Pop.
