Hard Figures
Is a carrier plan including an iPhone really cheaper?
Many people believe that a new iPhone with a carrier plan is the cheapest way to upgrade. It’s easy to see why, as the high upfront cost of a new device is spread out over many months.
In reality, you often end up paying significantly more. The total cost of a plan that includes a device is usually higher than buying an iPhone separately and combining it with a SIM-only plan.
Below is a clear example showing how much you can save by choosing a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro with a SIM-only plan, instead of a plan that includes a new iPhone 15 Pro.
Plan terms
Provider: Hollands Nieuwe
Duration: 2 years

Plan including device€1233
Same plan without device€198
SIM-only plan + iPhone 15 Pro from Phoney€797
Total saving€436
We understand that paying a large amount upfront can feel painful. However, spending hundreds of euros extra spread out over 24 months is less noticeable, even though it adds up to a higher total. In the end, you are not paying less, it just feels that way.
Real Impact
Fewer CO₂ emissions
The production of a new iPhone emits around 50 to 80 kg of CO₂. By reusing an existing device, you virtually eliminate these emissions.
Fewer valuable raw materials
An iPhone contains many scarce materials, such as lithium, cobalt, and gold. The longer a device lasts, the fewer of these critical raw materials need to be extracted.
Less electronic waste
The amount of electronic waste is growing rapidly worldwide. By choosing refurbished instead of new, you help prevent a usable device from ending up in the trash or being left unused in a drawer.
