| People have come to believe that the phones free. The true cost/profit is
built into your monthly service, or they wouldn't be profitable. It is
refreshing to find a carrier who doesn't bait you with the free phone.
Although if someone sells you a phone at their "cost," who knows? Only the
manufacturer knows the true cost. Just get the best deal for yourself. It
is the end price, not the cost.
