Comment on The double whammy of being poor – making less and getting charged moreparent

Comments

No, $60/month is the plan with cost of phone included. Please do not put words in my mouth.

If you were poor and unemployed, would you go without a phone, and access to email, LinkedIn and other services while you were looking for work? How do you edit those Word documents or read PDFs?

A smartphone is cheaper than a landline and desktop computer of any variety.

If you really believe that a person can look for work with just a $20 feature-phone, go try it yourself for a month as an actual experience and not a thought experiment!
