Maybe the MVNO it self is contractually obligated to sell last years phones, but we dealers can do what ever we want =) I sell brand new phones of what ever make/model the client will pay for. I even cross sell networks (U*CC phones in the V*W network, etc). I agree the data plans are weak, but there are companies out there that sell decent plans. Ive got one that sells 'unlimited' (50GB soft limit) but its on the Sp***t network and they do not have local coverage here or I would go back to using them with a voip client and no voice. There is a GSM provider that should have coverage here once A*T builds their new tower. They claim unlimited and afaik no one has found a limit as yet. I would love to become part of a group who had access to better plans, mostly data. At 4c/min or $45/mo unlimited voice, I have not found anyone who beats P+.
