Paul: I need a new cell phone plan.
These roaming and overage
charges are killing me!
Shauna: I thought you had a good calling,
messaging, and data plan.
Paul: I do, but I’m still going over
each month.
Shauna: Have you thought about a
prepaid plan? You’ll never be
charged extra.
Paul: That’s not an option. I think I need an
unlimited plan.
Shauna: Okay, but I don’t understand. Why do
you have roaming charges? Doesn’t your
carrier have good
coverage all over the country?
Paul: I’ve been taking trips to Mexico to see my
new girlfriend and the coverage doesn’t
extend to Mexico.
Shauna: Oh, I see. And the overage charges?
Paul: When you’re in a long-distance
relationship, you have to do a lot of calling and
texting, not to mention
updating social media websites to
stay in touch. I keep exceeding my
allotted 5000 minutes
of calling time and 100 megabytes of
data.
Shauna: What?! To exceed that, you’d have to
be on the phone all the time!
Paul: Not all the time, but I’m talking to her
now. Do you want to say “hi”?
Shauna: You’ve been on the phone with her the
entire time we’ve been having this
conversation?
Paul: How else can we keep up on
everything that’s going on in each other’s lives?
