In today's connected world, the deaf and HOH also need data plans to use apps like Google Maps and Uber, making a smartphone a near necessity for survival. Phone plans typically bundle talk, text, and internet services. For example, a cellphone plan might cost $50 with a certain amount of minutes and $10 extra for unlimited texts.
