There are some good deals out there where you basically get a free phone.
However, I've also seen ones adding another $20 - $40 to your monthly bill for the duration of the contract.
- garciasn 1y agoI only do the ones where they charge you for the phone but immediately reverse it as part of the contract; so, I'm net zero on phone charges aside from the contract which I'd have anyway.
- koolba 1y agoYou’re still paying for it. It’s already baked into the price of the contract. Simple rule of thumb is to subtract $10/mo/line from your phone bill and the remainder is what you’re paying for the phone subsidy. Which is even worse if you don’t actually milk them for a new device every two years.
- icedchai 1y agoThat's pretty good. I bought an unlocked phone and switched to T-Mobile prepaid. I'm paying like $15/month + tax.
