9 A few years ago, I was researching cell phone providers, and noticed a distinct
10 lack of _real_ information for an accurate comparison. It seems that everyone's
11 monthly rates are comprised of different numbers; they charge up front for the
12 phones, or they don't, or they kind of do; all of the devices cost different
13 amounts between the different providers; etc. The only real number that was of
14 any use, was calculating the total 24 month cost (the duration of a contract,
15 whether they say they have them or not), since in the end that's what really
16 mattered. Consequently, I decided to build myself a spreadsheet containing all
17 of this information in an attempt to gather it all in one useful place.

20 A few Preliminary Notes
21 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
22
23 * The information in this spreadsheet _should_ be accurate as of
24 **2014.12.22**.
25
26 * The T-Mobile "Monthly Cost (no phone)" cell is accurate up to three
27 phones because I haven't written the logic into the cell to handle more than
28 that.
29
30 * Each cell who's value isn't immediately obvious most likely has a
31 comment. Please hover over the cell to see each comment for more information.
32
33 * Each of the values that has something to do with a phone compares the
34 LG G3 where possible for as accurate a comparison as possible.
