Holy shit you still don't understand. No it is not simply financed over years. Yes they basically gave it to me (minus the sales tax and trivial activation fee.) No my phone bill did not magically increase as a result. I am not effectively paying for it in some hidden or deceptive way. In fact, so many people are wary of that shit, during the upgrade process they literally make me view and agree to a screen showing "your phone bill is now X monthly, it will be Y monthly after you upgrade" and the difference was... $0.47 a month if I recall correctly.INCORRECT
Yes they “GIVE” it to you…. ha ha ha corporations are super generous giving $1000 things away constantly.
Sorry you most likely have … you just didn’t notice because you didn’t PAY ATTENTION.
That 1000$ phone is chopped into 24-36-48 equal parts and added to your monthly cell phone bill.
which is why they have you sign that book of legal fine print before they “give” it to you for $100.
Look at your monthly $50-200 cell phone bill.
As I pay my monthly $25 bill for cell phone.
If I cancel my service within the next couple of years, I would owe them a portion of what the phone retails for. Not really an issue for me; I have been with them longer than most of the people on here have probably been alive lol.
