If you are talking about random users, it would be very difficult. But I had very good luck when I had reason to convince people by being careful who I tried it with. And I have long stopped doing that because MS went off the rails by releasing WM10 long before it was ready. The main non-subjective benefit of Windows phones had been the rock solid nature of it. Anyway, in the good old days, I would look for people who had open minds. Then I would GIVE them a retired phone or a brand new unlocked L640. I had bought a bunch when you could get the AT&T version for a net $10 and unlock them immediately for free. Only one of them went back to iOS or Android. But that was Windows 8.x.
You may be overlooking that not everyone wants or can afford a flagship. There are several excellent mid range hardware options. Still, I don't recommend them to others because I don't trust what MS will do even in the short run.
Exacty. I joked earlier that you could make people switch by breaking their phones, stealing their money, and giving them a free 950XL. The reality actually isn't that far removed from that: people do break their phones, are not always wealthy enough to buy a new flagship immediately, and cheap, fast, secure WP phones are available.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, we are enthusiasts and as such, we prefer the leading edge of performance in our devices. Your statement is the very justification of how Android became the world leader it is. Budget Androids flooded the market and they never looked back. Thank you for reminding us of how purchasing power in the hands of many can dominate a global market. I can't speak for the rest of the world but in the US, anybody can walk out of a carrier store with a top of the line phone with zero or little upfront cost. I guess cheap credit is back in vogue.
Totally agree (especially in the U.S.). I don't know many people, like myself, who buys phones unlocked. Most hi to the carrier, get kicked into high rates, and walk out with an expensive iPhone while making monthly payments. They don't realize they're paying too much and can't leave the carrier easily for a couple years.
for getting answers ! 
From my observations, they don't have a clue. When i show people what I'm paying on Cricket, compared to the big boys, they think I'm lying. Some have switched once they realize they've been taken. The others like to waste money i guess.
I've heard that about Canada. I live on the border.
2.5 g - no can do
You have a very unusual circumstance, not the norm for most people overspending.
There's only one carrier that works in the middle of my 300 acres of woods and that's VZW so I'm stuck shall we say. No TMO, No AT&T, No SPRINT and I ain't switchin to Cricket to find out.
