@amaditalks @RickiTarr tell me who gives an iPhone for free with a plan these days? Haven’t seen discounts on handsets in years here in aus. They’re so expensive I keep for 4yrs to justify cost and I earn plenty.

@ivalaine @amaditalks Verizon does, and I'm pretty sure AT&T too, if you sign up for several years and/or have a phone trade in, but they are gonna get more than their monies worth back on that deal. @amaditalks @RickiTarr fascinating. We used to get a discount on handset repayments if plans were on bigger end. Now the plans have just got bigger and bigger (and they keep adding new plans and scrapping smallest) on top of large phone repayments. @amaditalks @RickiTarr everything has unlimited call and text but honestly everyone i call or text is via data anyway. And I don’t use that much data. Annoys me there is no basic plan anymore. Considering prepaid on the next one as save cost of the whole next phone with annual top ups! |
@ivalaine @amaditalks @RickiTarr the handset is never free. Its cost is either serviced by a separate loan or included in the airtime of the provider. This option fell out of favour because it became an abusive permanent loan rather than a fixed term.
