Re: Don't take the damn subsidy and walk...

said by NetAdmin1:

If people really want to be able to use an iPhone or a Pre on another network, the trick is simply to pay full price for the device and not get locked into a contract.

Seriously, it isn't that hard of a concept.

Now, if providers start trying to dictate what people do with devices they pay full price for, then we have a problem. However, if you take that subsidy on the phone you just have to have, remember, you are that cell phone company's bitch...

Title was for a different topic. Fixed it.



They do that now. They tell you what you can or can't do with your smart phone wither you buy it full price or not. You can't buy an iPhone from AT&T, G1 from TMobile or Palm Pre from Sprint without a data plan.

That only applies if you use it on their network. ATT can't tell you what plan you need if you cancel your service with them and try to use the iPhone on T-Mobile... But I see what you are saying.
