Tim stop taking their hand me downs and by unLocked Phones. As long as you take their Free/Subsidized Phone and pay them three time their worth in inflated rate plans, we all suffer! Do like we do take their free phone and buy a unlocked. Either give the free phone to charity, sell it on eBay, or keep it as a back up. The US carriers make more money off the subsidized phones then they make of the phone plans.
Here is part of an article from November 7, 2007. "AT&T is forking over a hefty $18 a month (to Apple) for each iPhone user which, as CNET points out, is an amount that exceeds the actual price of the iPhone." And then the user also pays $399.00 for the phone. So on Motorola phones who making the ±$18.00 a month? Just a rehetorical question? Sound like Bottom Line as it is not service related. And YES, we can on blame ourselfs as we think we're getting something for FREE!

a) Something tells me this is not true: "The US carriers make more money off the subsidized phones then they make of the phone plans."
b) Where can you buy a SIM free, never locked V9? It is not on the Moto store web site.
