We are discussing the price of smartphones, not the price of data plans. The infographic also seems pretty wrong, FWIW, especially considering that many US plans are uncapped and thus price/GB depends on usage. (There are sometimes, but not always, throttles past large amounts of usage eg 50GB/month, but since most of these plans cost less than $50/month, it seems extremely unlikely that most people are paying $6/GB as the website is claiming.) Verizon's "Visible" brand, for example, offers plans for $25/month with "unlimited" (soft cap at 60GB) data, for an effective $0.41/GB assuming you use up to the throttle limit. Even non-unlimited plans can be quite cheap; T-Mobile, for example, offers prepaid data plans for as little as $1/GB. |
