A lot of people can't afford their cars and buy with credit. Something you can't really do on phone plans.
Also, this way you can add another middle man that makes money data-mining your browsing habits.
- h4waii 10y agoHuh? Most people in North America (who can't afford phones) lease-to-own their phones. They pay for it in a monthly rolled up price, and at the end of their contract they own the device outright, obviously with all caveats surrounding leasing any asset.
- myowncrapulence 10y agoI'm talking about the monthly data, not the phone.
- pjc50 10y agoThis makes no sense - you have X monthly cost of the data and monthly repayments of Y, and if X > Y your outstanding loan will only grow. You can't sensibly pay for a recurring expense on credit.
- myowncrapulence 10y agoEXACTLY. READ MY ORIGINAL COMMENT.
