        Back in MY day we used up all of our phone plan money because we accidentally clicked on that stupid browser icon and loaded a website for half a second. Oh the terror

      When bus cards first came out you could buy things from the dairy with them. Adults quickly realised how stupid that idea. I had friends who spent the entire months bus money on snacks after school then walked 2 hours to get home. They didn’t even complain, it was a good trade in their mind.

        That’s an awesome trade as a kid tbf, would’ve done that too x3

        Im not sure if this is an option everywhere, but in my country you can add your phone provider to google play as mentioned

        So if you had nicer parents that topped your plan off for one of the more expensive plans what you could do was get a cheaper one, and spend the leftover on in-game purchases or whatever through google play :3… phone plans were also how all the illegal irl item trades in mmos were done ^^
