My sister in law who is tight on money went to an At&T store last year and got an iphone. While the phone was FREE, she does have to pay for her plan and usage like everyone, which on her budget is pretty tight.
With the latest ios 8 upgrade I was trying to help her download the new IOS and realized that what they gave her FREE was an iphone 4s with only 8GB!!!
With only 8 GB and only afew apps, photos, etc. she does do have enough space to upload the new IOS version.
I think that is a giant rip off that they give anyone a phone these ays with only 8 GB of space, which at a time like this makes it pretty much useless.
Just my opinion.
