@alexisdyslexic Also, most countries have gotten rid of the abusive deals where telcos would offer free access just to Meta. But in many countries, you can get a chip with free access to "social media," which just means Meta plus a few other companies. In fact I'm using one of those services right now! Posting here costs me data (a tiny amount; I got 16GB of data for about $7) but posting & reading Whatsapp, Instagram or Facebook is free.
