Hi, Unless you plan on switching networks in a 2 year span, how do you save money? I’m just assuming the majority of people in the U.S. with an iPhone are on the 4 big carriers. So, lets say I buy my phone off contract, I don’t get a discount on my bill for using my phone on any of these networks so, where is the advantage?
