Contemplate this, a new Sprint family plan of 4 can get the following:
Guaranteed 4 - iPhone 6S Leases @ $15 each + 10 GB of Shared Data @ $100 = $160 a month.
Get 40 GB to share for $180. This is before any kind of employer discount mind you, which I think still applies to the data portions of the plan.
At the end of the lease the buyout is only $200, at least it is for the iPhone 6 I'm currently leasing.
Aren't Sprint lease discounts just another type of subsidy?
