Well, at least in Spain we started the same as you, with carrier provided and subsidized phones. I don't know exactly for what reason free phones became popular, maybe pressured by regulations (liberalization). If the price has to be the same in both cases, there is no economic incentive for the carriers to provide phones - and they don't provide all brands and models, that may be another reason. I remember around 1995 that people would get a phone from a company then switch company and get another phone, keeping the previous phone. People would have a new number every month or so. Soon they added a clause to make them pay the remainder of the phone, LOL. > > My estimate is that 80% of phones are still carrier-provided in NA, > while 20% are direct purchases.
