It was very shocking to me how many minutes cell phone plans had in the US when I moved there (it was ... a while ago) compared to France.
But also: in the US, calling someone on their cell cost the same as calling someone on a land line. In France, calling someone on their cell from a land line was something like 4x more per minute.
Really, the structure of phone costs (both land and cell) in the US was quite different.
Yep. France was similar to the UK. I spent years online between 10pm and 6am to use our dialup at the off-hours cost (which wasn't free, but significantly cheaper).
Not the good old days of spending money to browse the internet at 28.8kbps.
