Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage. Not one of mine ever has been, including the one phone that I didn't pay cash for outright, a Nokia 5110. And locked phones showed up later, essentially so that those who bought a locked phone for a lower price than the same phone unlocked would not be able to change to another carrier other than the carrier the phone was locked to. > prepaid phones are not subsidized. They are when they are cheaper locked than not locked. > you own it outright unless it's financed. Irrelevant to whether its subsidized or not. And I owned the Nokia 5110 outright even tho I was legally obliged to pay for it in monthly instalments. > the lower cost is because they're low end phones. Wrong when the locked phone is cheaper than the SAME PHONE which isn't locked. > a prepaid iphone is going to be > its normal unsubsidized price. Wrong when the locked phone is cheaper than the SAME PHONE which isn't locked.
