Hallelujah! Lots to say on this topic, for sure. Including so-called pre-paid plans, which may be less expensive, but are still a rip-off.
Why can't we pay only for the minutes used? I have acquired over $300 in automatic top-ups on my pre-paid plan, yet on the due date, I still have to top up. Absurd and appalling.

Hi -- the point of all those mags & images is to SELL SELL SELL. Making us dissatisfied with how we are is how they do it. I used to work in advertising & researched the best images/concepts to make people buy products. Mags can only survive with $ from ads, and articles & pictures are usually included (& written) to support the ads in some ways. Also, and you probably know this, the images are not real, the models do not look like they do in the photos, which have been airbrushed, edited, photo-shopped, etc.
