News Commentary: Cellphone that you can't live without

Can you imagine yourself without cell phone? Many people carrying cell phone everywhere. It is near their bed, coffee table, in the bathroom, at the bus stops, airport, anywhere. Cell phone became an important part in our lives because we can communicate quickly, reminds us of our appointments, and send messages or share pictures and videos as you take them. There is a dilemma to this…. Cell phone’s calling and data plans cost a lot of money.  

Which mobile communications companies offer the best affordable plan? Currently, T-Mobile, MetroPCS, and Sprint offer unlimited data plans. T-Mobile has a new unlimited nationwide 4G plan for $89.99 a month with free phone. MetroPCS offers unlimited data plan for talk, text, and data; however, it covers only 14 cities including Atlanta for $55 a month. Sprint provides Simply Everything unlimited data plan for $109.99 a month, but you need to be on Sprint network to get connected. According to the PC Magazine review of speed and coverage “T-Mobile has the best balance of speed, a broad selection of smartphones, and nationwide coverage.”

In my opinion, having a cell phone is very expensive, but it is an important tool to communicate with each other. So what do you think? SHOULD you or SHOULDN’T you get a cell phone?
