Same with phones. Buy a second-hand flagship from a couple of years ago (eg pixel 8), and use a pre-paid plan.

It's not just a few hundred dollars saved on the phone, it's also a few hundred per year on less overpriced contracts.

Prepaid plans have to be more competitively priced because you can switch at will.

I buy all my phones off eBay from reputable resellers. There are plenty that make a living at refurbishing phones, rate each one on a scale, post pics of the phone you will receive. I pay around $120 for mine, $180 if it's a bangin' deal and I really want that unit.
