@Cerberus Um, what? You don't usually have snow in winter and yet your room temp isn't 30 Celsius without air conditioning like I got a couple days ago?
Well, mine's somewhere around that figure, too. Electricity isn't expensive here (though I have no idea what you Europeans consider expensive), but I always have a few computers running 24/7.
Why does Microsoft Word 2010 show an error for the following sentence?
1. Where should this car be parked?
Word 2010 also suggests changing the sentence to
2. Where this car should be parked?
Is the sentence (1) wrong? If yes, why? What about sentence (2)?
Votes, views, number of answers, number of votes on those.
Matched against, of course, how old the question is.
And then, to level the playing field for all sites, once a question from any site is on the MC, any other question from the same site that would normally get on the MC at the same time gets a penalty. A third question gets an even higher penalty. And so on.
@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 Oh, really? In most cases here, you pay hundreds more than the value of the phone as calculated if you buy the phone on line, so not at double the price in a store that sells plans.
@Cerberus not that I know of, which is why I misunderstood you in the first place. The moment you said "SIM-only" I thought, ah, prepaid. I am certain most if not all Germans would react the same.
My wife had prepaid. Now that her phone has died, we did a lot of comparing and visiting shops, online and brick-and-mortar alike.
She will be getting a contract without a phone. The phone she already bought last week.
So yeah. From prepaid to SIM-only.
I think on the contracts that were most attractive to her, the difference between getting a phone or not was 10 Euro, in fact. Not five.
Per month.
And since she didn't want anything fancy, it was obviously cheaper to buy the phone separately.
I think she paid around 90 Euro.
But again, that's something we wouldn't even have to think of ourselves; the guy in the very first T mobile shop we visited did the math for us. Unsolicited.
Did this guy base the price for the hypothetical phone on what it would cost in his shop, or on the internet (new, of course, in a respectable webshop)?
He didn't base anything on anything. He just said that she'd be paying 240 Euro over the course of 24 months. So if we buy a phone that's cheaper than that, we should buy it separately. Obviously we are free to buy the phone wherever we wish, and to compare the prices.
So wen you said, "[h]e didn't base anything on anything. He just said that she'd be paying 240 Euro over the course of 24 months. So if we buy a phone that's cheaper than that, we should buy it separately", does this mean that she could pick any phone at his shop?
@RegDwightΒВBẞ8 No, that's fine, that is a good price.
Every now and then, some provider will pretend to make things drastically simpler. Except that they will still have a dozen plans. And two months later hundreds again.
You should also take into account whether she would be able to transfer unused minutes to the next month on her new plan. If not, she should probably get a plan that has at least 20 % more minutes than what she uses on average.
@Cerberus well she never buys them. I always do. Except I can't do the math either, because sometimes I refill 15 Euro, sometimes 30, sometimes 50; sometimes it takes her a month to spend the 50; other times easily two months to spend 15.
She keeps telling me about all those summer camps where she could make calls from her bed, while everybody else had to take their O2 phones to a lamppost half a mile away.
In any case, what I was saying from the beginning is that it never ever paid off here to get a "free" phone tied to a plan, but that it was always (much) better to buy a separate phone, so that getting a new phone every year or so always costs heaps of money here.
Aww.
So I was surprised when you said you got a new phone ever two years or more frequently.
Well as I was saying, thanks to normal phones having gone completely extinct, I don't even have to so much as compare the prices anymore. I'm just sticking with my old phone and renewing the contract without getting a new one.
You had to plug it into the phone, and it cost like 60 Euro all by itself, and it was like 0.01 Megapixels, and it detached itself from the phone all the time.
I got a B & W phone when I was 18. Kept that one until 4 years ago, then got this phone, which was the phone my brother had bought several phones before the one he had then.
My very first phone was the very first phone with a color display. At least according to the manufacturer.
The funny thing is, it wasn't really color. It had green, red, and blue, and a couple shades in-between. Kind of like the original Game Boy, really, which had four shades of gray.
But now I'll just use the opportunity to sneak out of this room.
