Beeper Mini is back
It is free even without purchase. I could give someone an old iPhone and they can use it without issue.

"Cars/TVs/insert-other-thing-here are free, because I could just give an old one to someone!" That ain't how it works bro . . . .

One would say you can watch stations for free over the air even though you have to buy a TV.

A better comparison would be a free over the air station that only works on a particular brand of TV.

Or XM Radio "free" stations that you can only listen to if you have XM radio subscription and hardware.

Even if old iPhones were free: There’s still a significant issue for people not wanting to carry two phones.
