WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - If you want a cheaper cell phone bill, maybe you should consider living abroad.
A recent study by Purdue University researchers says the United States has some of the most costly cell phone plans compared to other countries. In 2015, the average cost of a mobile phone plan in the U.S. was $67 a month, compared to $23 in Germany and $31 in Denmark.
"What we show is that there has been a huge increase in concentration in the US market," said Professor Mara Faccio who helped conduct the study.
