Jeez. Who spends $2000 on a phone?
That's how much Samsung S22 Ultra sells for. Or I guess did, before the S23 Ultra came out.
We all will be in 5 years.
Really? I just got my phone for free from Visible.
It's not free, the cost is built into your monthly payment. This is how all carrier supplied phones are funded. If they allowed you to bring your own unlocked device they could charge you less. They wouldn't, but they could because they wouldn't need to recoup the hardware expense.
Err, you're wrong.
I only pay $25/month for unlimited data. My bill didn't go up, either.
Whether they supplied me with a phone or not, I'd still be paying the same price.
In fact, I was using my own phone initially but they offered me an upgrade for free.
Then that means the cost of the devices has already been factored into the base price of your contract. Nothing is free, companies don't make money by giving away phones that they paid for. You're just paying a higher base fee regardless of whether or not you get the hardware from them. By not taking the phone from them you're increasing the profit margin they make on your monthly contract.
Lol, ok bud.
Have a nice day.
