I got my new phone with my wife the same time her sister and husband did. They just informed us that all new plans now make you pay the full cost of the phone instead of getting a 500$ phone for 100$ plus paying a 2 year contract.. they make you pay like 20$ a month extra each month until the FULL price of the phone is paid.. WTF? We pay 140$ for both phones unlimited talk,text, and data. So I guess now we end up paying a lot more when we go to get new phones at the end of this month?
