those who

a) have to pay subsidy+$250 with a 2 year contract on AT&T

b) pay full price or lose unlimited all together with a full subsidy on Verizon

and are on a family plan are doing the dummy line thing to get a full subsidy without dealing with the extra factors and instead just shelling out $10 a month for the additional line while SIM swapping/doing activation swaps.

Is anyone seriously considering just going with option a or b when there are alternatives (seemingly)?

I could see people who dont check their upgrade, have any idea which end is up, and show up launch day at a retail store will probably give up unlimited or fork over the extra $250 up front with the contract, eliminating the ability to get a 2013 iPhone subsidized next year on their current line.
