The network provider then recovers the subsidy via monthly fees paid by the subscriber. You can compute the total you pay over the term of the contract versus an interest-free installment plan with lower monthly fees and they are very close to the same total.

There is no such thing as a FREE phone on a contract.
The phones cost the same amount whether you purchase them on a contract or outright.The difference with a contract is that the cost of the phone is subsidised by the network provider.cjcOn 31 Dec 2015, at 7:52 AM, Barry Austern barryaus@yahoo.com [apple-iphone] <apple-iphone@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

However, if this is simply a way to raise prices then I am opposed. If the bill is $x with a free phone, as long as you hang on for two years, then it should be lower than that if you are supplying your own phone.
