Their problem not mine. If they want to avoid losses, then they need
to price it such that:

	handset + 12 * monthly line rental > actual handset cost

If they choose not to do so, then they have to accept that some
people will take advantage of it. There's nothing illegal about that.
But I suspect that they *do* recoup the cost of the handset, even if
you don't make any calls anyway.
