    Smart phones could be costly because it's download, upload and connect to the network almost all the time. People that use smart phones and don't have good deals or promotions,and people use data more than they think, so the phone company can cost the data that we download, upload with the network, and smart phones can do many thing that use a lot of data and it will cost a lot of money, for example sending 10 photos it's take 10MBand watch video on youtube it will take 15MB per video, etc. In this case the solutions are that users should make sure that they get the right deal or promotion, that they won't get a big bill in the end of the month. Secondly, there are people that use unlimit promotion, but every deal have a gap, so the phone company should tell their customers, or send the users a messages to warning them that they used data more than the deal they got.
