My understanding is that Verizon will no longer provide free phones. In the past people would get a free phone when they sign up for service. The phone has to be paid for so it was added to the cost of peoples plan. Now that the free phones are taken out of the plans the cost should go down. I was skeptical that the cost would actually go down. Hopefully it is true but when you need a new phone you will have to pay for it out of pocket.
most phones weren't "free" as the cost between the discount you paid up front was simply figured into the monthly line cost. ain't nuttin free.
Yes BUT. If you buy one or two phone there is one price. If you buy a half a million phones like Verizon cost does go down. Of course how much profit they make is another thing. We have ATT and Verizon Jet pack. If Att area is down when traveling we switch to wifi with Verizon jet pack. I really need both when traveling to get full service.
