Wrong. They do give those phones away. They have for years. The catch is you have to sign a multiyear contract.
The last cell phone I bought would have been $300 on the open market. I bought it for around $50. Brand-new.
Aaron has a very interesting point and idea.
Although, me personally... the idea of sticking my dick in a machine scares the living shit out of me. I'll pass.
