Frich Reveals: The Cost of Staying Connected

Last week we partnered up with Total Wireless to break down the real cost of staying connected!

So let's do it - let's talk tech, phone plans, and all those little things that make life easier (or more complicated). Whether you're upgrading your gadgets or figuring out who pays the WiFi bill, we've got the scoop on what Frichies are doing. Ready to dive in? Let's go! 🚀

Is it embarrassing to be on your parents’ phone plan after 25?

This one's a hot topic, but here's what Frichies think: 30% say yes, it's a bit embarrassing. Time to fly solo and take control of those bills! Meanwhile, 70% say it's totally fine to stay on your parents' phone plan after the age of 25. Why pay more when you can save a few bucks, right?

If you're looking to switch to your own plan, this is a great deal. Use this link to lock in a 50% discount for 5 years with the Base 5G Unlimited plan! After all, nothing says "adulting" like paying your own phone bill...

How often do you upgrade your phone?

When it comes to upgrading phones, Frichies are all over the place. 29% upgrade every time the new one comes out. On the other hand, 36% wait until their previous phone fully breaks before getting a new one. And 35% upgrade once every few years, when there's a bit more money saved up.

If you're looking to save on your next upgrade, consider trading in your old phone for a discount on the new one. After all, who doesn't love a good deal and a shiny new gadget?

And psst… you can save $250 on the iPhone 15 Plus 128GB, when you switch to the Total Wireless Total 5G+ plan!

Would you split a family phone plan with friends to save money?

Splitting a family phone plan with friends can be a great way to save money, and 36% of Frichies are all for it. However, 28% think it's too much of a hassle. Sometimes, simplicity is key. And 36% say no, it's too risky.

Mixing finances with friends can be tricky. But hey, if you can survive a group chat, you can handle a shared phone plan. 😄

Hoe many streaming services do you pay for?

Streaming services are a must-have, but how many is too many? The average Frichie pays for four streaming services. That's a lot of binge-watching! Whether it's Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or HBO Max, having multiple subscriptions can add up.

If you're looking to cut costs, consider sharing accounts with family or friends! Or you can always rotate your streaming service subscriptions one show at a time.
