The carriers will gladly give you a $1000 phone if you buy a $3000/year plan for the next 5 years.
I pay $55/month for 130 GB and unlimited Canada wide calling on Rogers. No "5 years" plan.
But hey you get that shiny new iPhone for almost nothing.
I stopped buying phones through the carriers or phones associated with their plans as soon as I found a way to buy unlocked phones.
I have bought all but one from Rogers. That one came straight from Google. None have been locked. This may be because I never bought a phone as part of a plan. I always kept the phone purchase separate from the plan.
