Yet another way for Russian daddy to send him money without anyone knowing.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

Not really. I'm on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).

If it's a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they're talking about a $500 phone instead of "free with plan," I'm assuming it's prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.

Edit: okay, read the article and it's prepaid. It's not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.

Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

I pay for a year at once, so I only pay $15 per month for unlimited talk/text and 5 GB of mobile data. Mint is the carrier I use

Trump likes to pitch crap to gullible fools.

There are numerous errors on the page, from a processor section that doesn’t list a processor

Shit-tier Mediatek. Calling it now.

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…

[-] Ultragramps 7 points 4 months ago

The Kushners went into billions in debt (paid off by Saudis) just to keep ownership of 666 5th Avenue in New York. They might be proud of that.

[-] j0ester@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Did anyone read the TOS and such? Holy shit! So many red flags.

Use Visible instead.

Unlimited data for $25/month.

I know a maga grandma that will probably buy into this.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Please God let some bug at the carrier level incessantly provision these T1s to a max of 1.5mbps because that would be so fucking funny.

[-] hddsx@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

That design looks like patent infringement to me

Just come out with the TeleScreen, and be done with it already.

New day, new grift.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 2 points 4 months ago

Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.

I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.

I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.

[-] FoolishObserver@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Can't wait to see the Truth Social bloatware. Also, do you think the applucatiin marketplace will be called the TrAPP Store?

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

So people who have this phone can be ordered by an AI for an organized attack if he is not declared a king?
