I'm glad to say that it doesn't work out that way everywhere.

In the UK, our price plans are staying the same, and the phones are £99 or
£159 - and honest exchange rate conversion. In fact, given the 17.5% VAT
we pay, the phones are actually cheaper.

The price plans all include talk time, texts and unlimited data.

It gets better: on the more expensive plans, you get a £99 discount on the
phone.

And, there's a new cheaper price plan at £30 per month - £5 less than the
previous cheapest, still with unlimited data. Even better, it seems to
exactly match my current usage!

One more thing: we're getting Pay As You Go plans, too. They haven't
announced the specific rates, though.

Don't be too jealous, though. At current exchange rates, our cheapest price
plan is still - oh I can't tell you. My currency converter widget thinks
there are three pounds to the dollar!
