why is internet for your cell phone so high?

There are 2 types of plans, the kilobyte charge and the hourly charge.

KB charges are for services that charge you for every KB that gets transferred to and from your phone.

Hourly charges are for services that gives you an amount of time or days or months, before charging you.

If you do not use internet too much on your phone, i suggest switching to KB charges. however, if you use internet on your phone alot then 35 a month isnt 'high'.

Because people are willing to pay it. It's as simple as that.

A company will charge whatever price gives them the highest profit. If they charge too low a price, they won't make much money. If they charge too high a price, few people will use their product, and they won't make much money. Somewhere in-between, there is a price that maximizes their profit.

because cell phone companies want their money too. =[
