The price is "cheap" because it is low enough that most carriers will give it to you basically for free if you trade in your old phone and/or agree not to switch to a different carrier for 18-24 months.
- minerva23 4y agoThat’s not free. They’re amortizing the cost of the phone into the service fees. Even budget carriers do this. Google Fi charges $450 for the 6a or $240 if you agree to two years. Their cheapest lines are $15/mo, which is $360 over two years, so you can see how they can offer the $210 discount.
- babypuncher 4y agoIt is functionally free if you were going to pay for the same service from the same carrier for that period of time anyways.
