It isn't a secret that the carriers like to share, but that $200 phone you just bought actually costs you much more than that. In fact, when you do the math, the numbers are mind boggling.
When you walk into a carrier store and pick up that new iPhone for $200 with your 2 year contract extension, they show you a $649 "retail" or non-contract price. This seems incredibly high, until you start to look at the inflation on the monthly rate you pay for that $450 discount.
Most carriers offer an "unlimited" plan that starts at $80 and continue upwards to $120. Then you add your fees and taxes to this total and you can be looking at as much as $150 for a single smartphone plan. Take the T-Mobile unlimited plan at $89.99 a month, add $15 in taxes and fees and you will come out around $105 a month. This equals a two year cost of $2720 including that $200 phone.
On the flipside to this theory is Solavei and their purchase a handset and pay a lower monthly cost system. Even purchasing the top of the line HTC One S for $529, the 24 month cost for Solavei will be almost $900 cheaper!
