Is AT&T buying out competitors contracts if someone wants to buy an iphone but their contract with another company isn't up yet? Been looking for any info on this and haven't found any.
Since when do modern US-based corporations think this long term? They think in quarter-increment and that means more subscribers next quarter or bust!deftdrummer1 said:If they know you are one that jumps ship easily they would rather do without you.
I suppose, but if this were the common mindset among these business, it would be easy to see the perpetual cycle. The point, after all, is to get people locked in and keep them locked in. It accomplishes very little to foot a $175 early termination fee, then give away a zero-cost subsidized phone as is done in most cases. In order for these kinds of arrangements to equal out, more than six months must pass on the average $60 monthly service. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that it is very likely a person would jump ship again when the device or service become unattractive again. This is very possible within a six month time span.bobb-mini said:Since when do modern US-based corporations think this long term?
