total phone cost $2100.

So you're playing $132 a month for that tiny amount of data and your calls.

You're being raped.

And paying way over the odds. Essentially, the carrier is lending you the money to buy the $700 phones and charging you hefty interest.

In the UK, I pay $20 a month for a sim with unlimited data, minutes and texts. I buy my phone unlocked and have no 2 year bullshit contract. When I want a new phone, I sell my current one for a few hundred, and get the new one.
It seems it is YOU who is not good at math.

I understand that I am "paying" for my phone. However, if I was to return the phone to them in the morning and go out and buy a used phone for $200.... I would still be paying $220 for the service.
