Not to mention that operator phones tend to be crippled, locked-down versions of the original hardware. So I wonder why people don't just take consumer credit or pay in full for a device rather than use it on an operator contract.
- pavlov 15y agoIn the US, they apparently don't get the choice. You pay something ridiculous like $80/month for a smartphone plan that includes a device subsidy. Or you can bring your own full-price device... And still pay $80/month! If they had any sort of functioning government oversight over the telecoms, that shouldn't be legal.
