although to my knowledge none of the other carriers do this.

I find it odd that a foreign company comes to the US and is trying to install market principles... makes me sad
you forgot to include the initial purchase of the unlocked phone at $530, you definitely do not save $480, you only save $130 by buying unlocked and using the plans above
