Amazon puts failed Fire Phone on fire sale with 99 percent discount

This post is a load of balls. It's trying to indicate that the Fire Phone is free with a 2 year contract, YES that is right but it does heavily depend on what contract (Tariff) you apply for. If you want the phone for free the MIN spend per month (UK) is £33.00 and for that you get crappy minutes per month and crappy data allowance too. If you want to pay £13 a month then you have to fork our £400.00 for the phone. There are a few tariffs in between but if you want the phone for free you have to spend a lot on your tariff each month.

You appear to be from the UK (as am I), but our phone tariffs are so so so much cheaper than the offerings in the US. You'd look at more like 99c + 2 years on AT&T at $80/month, or similar.

Cost aside, the phone is junk (hardware). Launch-wise, it should have been free with a 2-year subscription to Prime, as its purpose was to just push more Amazon content on its users anyway.
