Perhaps it all balances out then.

A Motorola Moto X Pure cell phone.  I'm currently satisfied with my Moto 
G(2) phone, but more power/storage is always nice.

Through T-Mobile for $10US/year you get ~30 additional minutes which 
keep rolling over as long as you keep buying $10 worth of minutes 
annually.  The plan is no longer offered, but we lucky few were 
grandfathered in.  I live in fear that they'll completely cancel the 
plan because the next jump up is significantly more for minutes I don't 
need.

Similar here, but I'd be willing to bet that there are over 100 
different plans available from various providers.  I just happen to have 
the very cheapest one!
