A phone that actually costs less than $100 will make money from something other than its purchase price.

In some markets, that means the carrier subsidizing the phone and charging you a high monthly rate. I would counter that phone service should not cost more than $15/month.

The other thing it might do is preload adware, spyware, or outright malware.
