Kickbacks. The carrier has an arrangement with the phone manufacturer. Money is to be made if they can lock you down to a carrier- for a price at the consumer's expense.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your question, DaveV. The reason for the $100 price difference when you choose to activate now versus later is due to promotional pricing. When you activate your phone immediately, it often qualifies for special discounts or incentives provided by the retailer or carrier. We recommend contacting Best Buy directly. They can provide you with all the information you need regarding their pricing and activation policies. -Mitch
