That sounds awful and it's not even cheap!

I guess that shows how bad the alternative is.

How much is unlimited talk, text, data, hotspot with a watch data add-on where you are from?

edit: Actually I was wrong–it is $30, not $35.

In New York, I pay $26 for T-Mobile, one of the most mainstream carriers.

Weird. The cheapest T-Mobile non-prepaid plan I see is $50 + taxes and fees, and that is without watch service. The cheapest T-Mobile prepaid I see is $30 + taxes and fees, and that also is without a watch.

I pay $20 for the phone plan, and $10 for the watch add-on. No fees or taxes Feels reasonable to me.

What's a watch add-on?

Cell service for an Apple Watch so you do not need to carry your phone.

My phone bill is 10€. I get unlimited calls and text, 100Gb 4G/5G then unlimited 3g, in France.

I could also get 50 MB data, 2h calls, unlimited texts for 2€.

How much to add a watch to the plan?

Or a car? Man these are cellphone contracts not consumer credits. US folks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why would one ever want to add a watch to a phone bill? ISPs are notoriously fleecing their costumers on every front, why would you ever go to them to get a loan?

It isn't a loan. It is cell service for a Watch.
