    $40/mo means that after 2 years you’ve paid far more than the phone itself cost, even good mid-range devices like a Pixel. For that money I can get high-quality accessories like smartwatches and excellent bluetooth headsets that add far more value to my phone.

    And I bought my kids their phones and their basic plans. They have allowances. if they want to spend their allowance on data, they can do so.

      Adding accessories without having access to all the phone features is not worth it (internet everywhere is a feature of having an smartphone)
