One simple question. Thank you.
Hello,
I want to make sure the meaning of the words in bold. "Phones" means a device that is used to talk to others. And "time" means that how much time people talk over their cell phone. If my explanation are wrong, please help me clarify them. Thank you very much.
Michele: Comparatively speaking, is it cheaper to use a mobile phone in Taiwan or in other countries?
Mary: In my experience between the United States and Taiwan, the phones in the United States were cheaper,but the time was more expensive.

They have lots of ways to get your money. The phones probably refers to the actual hardware - that you hold in your hand. Sometimes when you sign a contract for a year or two of service, they give you the phone free.
