I'm not one of the contributors. I'm using a few year old S5 and my wife has her even older S4. Why? Because for many many years we got a low cost or free phone every 2 years with 2 year contract renewal. Cost of phone was rolled into monthly payment. Over the years that payment has crept up 50% due to discounts we've had being removed. Now the low cost or free phone is no longer available. Instead of lowering our rates because of no longer subsidizing the phone, they instead want to lease us a phone at a still higher rate. When it comes time, I'll probably buy an old stock of a older model of a new to us used phone and shop around for who has the best plan. Little incentive to stay with the same carrier as we had. Rant over! lol
