It's sort of unreal how expensive phones are in the US. As an Australian who is used to everything being more expensive, you're looking at $57 per month for a fairly similar plan (500 minutes, 1.5GB data without charging for incoming minutes) with no upfront payment.

Total cost over 24 months is $1368, compared to (300+90*24 = ) $2460 on Verizon. Crazy.

(Note that I used AUD and USD interchangeably, they're pretty much worth the same).
