Mobile phones, televisions, smartwatches and other “free” devices

Despite the official end of telephone subsidies years ago, operators have been flirting with their return for some time through different formulas, which in practice allow access to all types of devices without paying anythingor paying a nominal price for high-end smartphones.

Movistar was one of the operators that has most seriously opted for a return to subsidies, camouflaging it behind a device leasing program that can be accessed in exchange for a commitment to the operator of four years. A system similar to the one used by Yoigo, although in this case, the tenure is two years there is a monthly fee of 1 euro, and a high cost applies after the first 24 payments if you want to keep the phone as your own.

Other operators are also betting on including free or cheap devices, although in a more timely manner. The most outstanding models are the following:
