All phones are subsidized when sold new...it was started way back when the cell carriers were trying anything possible to attract people to their networks.
A $139 fone is a cheap fone....trust me on that one. You can't expect quality receiver filtering etc with a $139 fone. You can't even expect it for a $200 fone....You have to get into the $300 price range to get a decent fone with quality components. It's like the old adage says....you get what you pay for....
