I'm confused about the phone cost thing. Right now on Amazon, an LG G3 w/contract is .01. (I think you'd have to pay the additional $30 upgrade fee, but still).

Everytime I've re-upped, I've gotten either my LG Spectrum (for $0, yep), or last time my LG G2 for $30. That's it. Nothing more.

For comparison sake, the LG G2 is now $300 full price on Amazon or free with a contract. If I were to purchase that at full price WITHOUT a contract, I would receive a $25/month discount on my More Everything line access fee. Over the 2 year life of a contract, had I entered into one, I would receive a $600 which means I was made $300 by paying full retail for the phone instead of signing a 2 yr contract. $340 if you take into account I did not have to pay a $40 upgrade fee.Smiley Happy

Total cost over 2 years with contract = $40 (free phone + $40 upgrade fee)

Total cost over 2 years without contract = -$340 or a savings of $340 ($300 phone - $40 upgrade fee which I didn't have to pay -$600 in line access fees which I didn't have to pay)
