There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes

How much do you pay? In US I pay $220 a month for 4 people but that includes financing phones. Unlimited 5g data etc.
This is with Verizon, a major carrier…I’ve never tried a cheaper company
In Canada, you can expect to pay $75-$125 per person for a plan with "unlimited data".
These plans will have a cap for how much of that data is 5g speeds, afterwards they throttle your speeds harshly.
I do not use one of the major carriers and I primarily use wifi at home and work, so my phone is about $100 a year.
Wow that sucks for those rates but I would prefer to pay more for cell phones and have free health care haha.
