More correctly, they cannot ammortize the price of the phone indefinately anymore. $1 phones are cheap upfront but you pay far more in the long run via lockin.

- chiph 13y agoI think it's hard to say. Depends on the phone, the plan, and so on. Not a lot of transparency in the process -- An unlocked iPhone is $650, or $27/month over the life of the contract. That would likely make up a big portion of the monthly bill, were it to be broken out separately in the statement.
