Interesting if it didn't require a cellular plan to make Telco calls. A WiFi only smartphone would be acceptable to consumers if it was free. If you're not online then incoming calls go to voicemail, which is not great for emergency calls but it's free so stop complaining.
- hershel 13y agoRepublic wireless offers a $19 per month, all you can talk service by using wifi. Maybe amazon can offer this cheaper. Say at $10 a month with no profit. So it makes more sense to offer service. I have seen some phones in Chinese retail sites for $90. For amazon it's cheaper say $3 per month over 24 months. Now consider the revenues for content, apps, increased e-commerce sales, ads and better profiling and maybe some profit from the phone service - amazon have plenty of ways to earning this $3 per month. The only question - what about people getting the phone and not using it at all?
