Normally, I\'d agree, but my wife already had a plan and contract. She added me to her plan for an extra $5 a month, plus I got the data plan, which is $19 a month. So, really it isn\'t all that much. Also, with me activating a new "line", they knocked a $150 off the phone and it has a $50 dollar mail in rebate, so the phone itself was $100.
