I consider price and technical specifications. I don't have 200€ to spend on a phone. Most phones I bought were less than 100€ new. What I care about a phone is that it supports two SIM cards.

With such constraints, choice is quite limited unfortunately.

Is it worth having a free device? Indeed. Is it worth spending 4 times the price just for that? Not to me.
