    A locked phone and an overpriced monthly contract is precisely a payment plan. As far cheap phones, I like Motorola but I’m sure other stuff is out there as well.

      No I’m saying yeah that is the thing that exists right now, and for some people that’s the only way that they can have / use a phone.

      Between planned obsolescence and how careless and demanding in resources even phone apps are becoming now, cheap phones are as bad as really old phonesn

      All I know is that maybe instead of putting a law like this in we’re going to just add the price somewhere else I say we just shut all these companies down and run this cell phone towers ourselves since all of our tax money has been going to these companies for them to build all these things that they don’t ever build or they build the bare minimum to get away with nobody taking the money back and it’s fucked up
