Where the heck are you?
To the British it is quite *obvious* that a contract without a phone
is cheaper.
The most obvious example of this is that one can choose how much to
pay up front - on can choose the phone "for free" with one set of
tariffs, or pay £75 on purchase and get the same number of minutes
for £10 a month less (on an 18-month contract, for example). One can
also get much cheaper contracts when no phone purchase is involved.
