This episode is a dialogue about cell phone. These are cellular or mobile phones. We're talking about the plans that you get from the phone company. Let's get started.

Paul: I need a new cell phone plan. These roaming and overage charges are killing me!

Shauna: I thought you had a good calling, messaging, and data plan.

Paul: I do, but I’m still going over each month.

Shauna: Have you thought about a prepaid plan? You’ll never be charged extra.

Paul: That’s not an option.
