[QUOTE=SpinMeRightRound;53828162]You can have a decent phone without it being a top of the range smartphone. There are budget phones on Amazon for $10-$20. They make calls, texts, have features like calendars, alarms, file storage, can use the internet on a very basic level, even a half reasonable camera.
You can not get a good phone for $20 in Australia period. The technology advancement in phones these days from 10 years ago is enormous. What 6betme could have done is go on a plan, it would cost about $50-$75 a month for 24months instead of $850 upfront, that would have definitely been smarter.
There is budget stuff for everything in life...could also live on the street; free rent, walk to casino; save on car expenses and eat out of a friggen garbage bin! LOL cmon mate wake up please....for most people having a good smart phone is just the norm in 2018. True, you don't need a Samsung or iphone and can get a knock off Chinese copy, those are still a couple hundred $.
6betme...do you deliver pizzas as your job?...if you work and play poker, you should aim to up your hours/bankroll playing poker before deciding to quit your pizza job...
