cell phone contracts and extending

A recent billing practice. Sales reps are pushing for the lower priced plan. Anyone know why?



I'm thinking it has something to do with companies now trying to get you to switch by paying your ETF fees. :MARIS61:

 

Maybe because is the "Ibone for life plan."

:MARIS61:

 

bc to me it looks like the low cost plan is just a lease where you never get to own the phone and try to resell it...

 

oh, its a phone lease. haha. the fuck is that. wack.

 

Yeah the carriers are getting a little ridiculous lately. I guess we have to blame it on the fact that those stupid ass phones are almost hitting a cost of 1,000 bucks. F'n bullshit.

 

I didn't mind the 2yr contract for a free phone. Leasing phones is definitely bullshit

 

I don't get it, a fucking Ipad mini is like 250 bucks though. You're telling me shrinking the phone down a bit and adding cellular capabilities costs 500 dollars more?

 

I know. I agree. We are getting fleeced because companies can hide the cost presented to you over the span of 2 years, via the contract you sign up for + the initial down payment of something like 199.00.

 

Do you guys really keep your old iPhones?

 

I keep my phones for a long time, I don't move from phone to phone really. Still on a Galaxy S4...a Note 4 would be an incremental upgrade IMO.

 

Not me... I love Wasting money. I use $100 bills to light my cigars

 

Yeah, after you spend money on something big you kind of forget about it unless you never use it.

 

I installed a Nettalk Duo on the boat Not even going to bother with a phone.
Of course I do have the ham net available. I can make a phone call that way.
