A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do they bundle the cost of handsets with the monthly fee and just allow you to upgrade every some number of months? But if you forget to upgrade, or don't want to, you still pay the same?

Yes. It's an expensive plan with a "free" phone. If you don't re-contract or switch at the end of the term you will be massively overpaying.

Ah, yeah, in the US they just hide that you're paying for it by the credits I mentioned. Sneakier I guess, but it is what it is and they all do it.
