gollark: > Personally, I have a 0€/month SIM... how? Pay as you go, or something?
gollark: It was somewhat annoying to find, but I can feel smugly superior to my friends for getting 8GB a month at low cost.
gollark: Personally, I just buy cheap phones every 2ish years and have a cheap £9/month SIM-only plan.
gollark: Somewhat. I go to my mobile provider's website sometimes and it says "get [shiny apple product] for just £55 a month" and think "... do people not know how to multiply by 24?".
gollark: Phones are still bought fairly regularly on 24-month contracts, at least.
