On: Internet and TV providers get away with jacking up your bill

I have a US phone bill and an NL one. My US phone bill with 3 phone payments and 3 lines is about $400 per month. The same in the NL is €100 a month.

I’d love to drop my US carrier, it’s just tricky because US banks are obsessed with SMS auth.

It might be worth considering a MVNO such as Mint or USMobile - you can end up with monthly bills of around 30usd or less with unlimited call/text and considerable data allowance.

How are you paying $400 for 3 lines? I’m on T-Mobile’s most expensive plan (unlimited 5G) and it’s only $140 for 3 lines. The 3rd line is free.

Interesting. I’m on an old Sprint plan (now t-mobile). I’ll have to look at plans the next time I’m in the US!
