I'm not sure if you noticed or your parent was edited, but it specifically says "high reoccurring fees." I share this sentiment, and, therefore, only have an iPod Touch/ cheap phone. I pay $33/mo (incl. tax) for 1k min+1k sms+200MB data). I'm mostly near a secure wifi connection and the limitations of this set-up are worth the savings.
To be clear, upfront costs have never been an issue for me, and I kind of wonder why the Android ecosystem has mostly failed to recognize this opportunity. Actually, I realize most people don't know how or want to bother with setting up proper SIP on a LAN (local SIP agent on router, etc.).
