Joe Dealfinder can get a Moto G for $179 and get a monthly pre-paid plan for peanuts from a variety of carriers that he can leave at anytime, include budget resellers of the major carriers. He could walk away with a monthly $30-50 bill with lots of data, minutes, sms, etc. Or he can get this jalopy, pay his extra monthly fee to pay for the actual phone, and then pick from a pricey non-prepaid plan while being locked to this one carrier. Even with modest data caps, he's looking at a near $100 monthly bill. The dealfinders know these .99 cent phones are ripoffs in the long run.
