Here's a tip for anyone who feels this meme is them.

You gotta negotiate and haggle with your provider. Yes it's uncomfortable and you will likely need to lie about switching. But it's the game that you gotta play for a better package.

You should be able to have at least 1GB for every 50¢ you're spending above $20, depending on your region.

Edit: the best time to do this is on holiday weekends and the first business day of the month.

My plan gives me unlimited data, and I can't imagine what plans other people are suffering with if they don't have unlimited data 🤔

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

My mobile plan doesn't give me unlimited data, but the tradeoff is that it's $10 per line per month and then just charges extra for how much data I use (in $10 blocks). Add in taxes and it ends up usually being $35/month total for two people, which I think is pretty good.

I don't have unlimited (10€/month) but after 186GB I'll get throttled, or so I've heard.

I do this when I get phone calls from ISPs trying to sell me mobile plans.

I look up prices while the call is still on, then bullshit that I've received slightly cheaper offers than that and lie about planning on switching.

Usually leads to "give me a moment to check with someone" and them coming back and offering me the plan I wanted with about 10 bucks off the monthly cost

The reduced price always expires in a year or two, but by then I've usually pulled it off again.

$20? For that money it should be unlimited!
