said by IIIBradIII:As I read it, you pay more with the contract because they are subsidizing the phone cost, same as they always have. T-Mobile's unlimited talk/text plan (w/ contract) was already $99 with a subsidized phone, but now they've added data to that plan for free.
And I don't understand why you're disappointed. As a ebay phone buyer, you can take your phone to T-Mobile and get an unlimited talk/text/data plan for $79 with no contract, right? If I'm reading that right, that's the cheapest nationwide unlimited plan I've ever seen from the big 4.
No complaining here! I'm very happy about this
