They sorta are, plenty of options for cheap quality untilited phone plans out there even with international included and very few people actually need a state of the art 1k phone to make payments on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not policing how people should spend their money. All I'm saying is that plans are from the past and don't need to exist, like faxes.
