It is still cheaper, I pay $50 just for Caller ID and Unlimited Talk And Text (in City only). There is a 13 percent tax on everything here.
Although now a few newer telecom providers have cheaper plans with Caller ID included in all their plans.
EDIT: I just read that you are charged for text messages separately, that probably makes the situation similar.
You are still not understanding my point. I said that even a person working in McD can buy it. I never said it will be cheap.
I am familiar with the plans ranging from $75-$125 per month. But since you have the option of making payments monthly, it is an option.
Since you have been in the U.S. for quite some time now, what is your opinion on this? Would smartphone sales not be different if everyone had to shell out the unlocked price upfront? Let's take an average of $700 for all of the high-end phones. What say?

I guess only 5 iPhone 5's were available or else there is no way it could be sold out in 30 Mins :lol:

You are not really serious..are you ?
Visit macrumors to see how much hoopla over pre orders is there. In US the pre orders began at 3:01 AM EST and people here have actually stayed awake to pre-order the phone. Forget everything, this is iPhone so this type of response is expected.
Ebay.com pre order bids have reached as high as 1000$ for the 16GB model.

Yes Bro I am joking but still 30 minutes and the device is sold out is pretty hard to swallow.
Moreover I feel many sites are on Apple's Payrolls. Let's see whether the figures are facts or myth.
No websites are on Apple's payroll. They don't need to pay anyone, no other company generates de-facto religious fervour like Apple. They just have to do their marketing tricks and people will swoon over it, starting with the Tame Apple Press. No other company will sell out their flagship products despite releasing at the middle of the night on a weekend just for pre-orders. Such devout following probably hasn't occurred since Christianity. Just so it is clear, I mean this in the best way possible, it is a phenomenal achievement.
