Re: New Slogan
I'm not sure why you aren't grasping this. There are no penalties. If you choose not to send/receive SMS, you pay nothing above your current cost of service. If you choose to send/receive SMS, you'll be charged a fee per SMS. If you don't like that fee, you can purchase a different level of service that includes SMS for a nominal charge. If a person wants to send/receive numerous SMS/mth, the incentive of paying a lower fee to purchase that additional SMS package vice paying $0.20/SMS seem real to me. |

It's not an incentive! They aren't offering you something for upgrading. They're penalizing you to force you to upgrade in order to save money FROM the new penalties. |

Customers have a choice. Actually, customers have several choices. Bottom line is, companies are using this as an incentive to upsell products/ services. This is common practice and happens in just about every industry that I can think of. |
