Very few people get deep discounts on handsets. Only those who are longtime clients AND spend $250+ per line per month can get better deals. For the average user it is more likely to get discounted or free add-on features with a little negotiation and this can add up to a better deal in the long run. Let's use 'Caller ID and Unlimited Text' as one example; $15 a month X 24 months = $360 (plus tax) in savings over your 2 year contract. If you can get a couple of free features then the savings will make up for what you paid out to get the handset that you really want. Plus the fact that they will probably give you the same features for free again when you renew your next contract.</blockquote>
