How can comparing different methods for a couple minutes be charged? Or rather, would it not be charged evenly to multiple options since multiple options are being researched, including the proposed "default" of buying a phone outright and then finding a plan that will actually provide suitable service while saving money.
To your credit, just stick with the subsidized phone deal, and then don't upgrade when it's paid off. At that point, your phone is now technically unlocked
- Drew_ 2y ago"I spent way, way too long" sounds like a lot more than "a couple minutes" to me. My point is that there is no research cost for buying outright. You just buy the phone and then you pick whatever service and plan you want. If I have to spend significant amounts of time penny pinching on "deals" and contracts that probably means I'm trying to buy something I can't afford. Moreover, this tendency definitely leads to _more_ spending in the long, not less.
- ThunderSizzle 2y agoMy question is why that the presumed default as opposed to getting a free or heavily discounted phone from Verizon or AT&T? I guess geography matters, but very few people I know in the US buy their phone outright, so it's not the default.
