But, auspex, that "deduction" from the tab, it isn't
free. If there was no "tab" system whatsoever, but we had an option of pure "BYO phone", the service should be cheaper, no?
And that is what I said, I found no service where they offer a "sim-only"
discount. None of them tells us "it costs X dollars with phone purchase plan, Y dollars if you bring your own phone".
