You can get a decent smart phone for $0 on a contract here in the US. Same as it was back in days of dumb candy bar and RAZR flip phones.

And like the old days, there are phones you can spend a lot of money on. But these are also a fast portable computer and a killer camera.

IMHO, the pricing makes total sense to me. Hell, before cell phone cameras got good, people commonly spent $400+ on nice point and shoot camera.

Here in Europe you can also get pretty good phones with such contracts. But the contracts are insanely overpriced for sometime 30€/month for 2gb. Where you pay 10€ for 2gb without a phone.

I know phones cost money but when they lock you in a shitty contract for 2 or even 4 years, is it even worth it.

In the EU, mobile phone contracts have been limited to 24 months since 2011.

Ok didn't know that. But that is a good explanation why i haven't seen 4y contracts since some years
