Having said that I still believe you would have gotten the same/similar plan for less than 80 bucks if you insisted on no subsidizing any phone. It just can't be otherwise. Unless US carriers have weird policy of not giving plans without subsidized phones.
yes but its $.99

Plan A $200 + $80 mo (no contract)
Plan B $.99 + $80 mo (2-yr contract)
If I had my own phone it would be $80 mo (no contract)

This was with AT&T and was the cheapest plan at the time. There are now discount carriers for under $30 mo.
