I just want to talk to my friends, what's wrong, can't I talk to my friends? I should pay my friends, not the phone company.

Use a credit card to pay the bill. Then the money will be invisible, too.

It costs money to build and maintain the infrastructure. Cell phones send and receive signals from cell towers. These cost tens of thousands of dollars to build. The way your call gets to the number that you dial is by huge computer centers, which costs thousands of dollars a day to operate. Cell phone companies do research and development to keep coming up with new phones that do more stuff. They pay engineers and scientists millions of dollars every year. Finally, they are in business to make money. It is called capitalism (look it up).

Well my friends are willing to talk to me for free; I don't have to pay them to listen to me. Maybe your friends are different though.
