I think I'm having a Gregn moment here. So the last time I bought phones for my wife and I it seemed pretty straightforward. We had a provider and every 2 years or so we'd be eligible for an upgrade. Between the discounted cost on the phone (by renewing with the carrrier) and activation charges maybe I'd spend like $200 up front or so.
Do companies no longer sell phones like that anymore? It seems like you either have to do some dumb ass installment plan where you pay $30 to $40 a month for like 2 years or you buy the phone outright for like $700. Whether up front or spread out overtime the idea of spending $700 on a phone rubs me the wrong way.
I like the old way of doing things. Is that not an option anymore?
