Re: Lame said by ptrowski:said by fAcEtIOUs:said by Mike_:Lmao, talk about being scared of people leaving? What do they expect people are actually not going to like "the network".. How could that be? /sarcasm It is more about protecting against fraudsters looking to make a quick buck by flipping the phone and selling at a profit and not REAL customers who will stay or go based on service quality. » I agree.. VZ gets their initial fees, and they get an ETF. I don't see they really "hurting" in that situation, subsidized phone or not. It's because Verizon can't stand it when ANYONE makes a single buck of them. They want to rule your money, and give you nothing in advantages besides service in return. This type of stuff is way easier on GSM and happens so much more with GSM carriers, then Verizon. Trust me Verizon does not have a big issue with this. Yes I know GSM is used way more then CDMA. The problem is they can control it better on CDMA. Verizon closes any holes that are an advantage to customers, that's just how they roll. |
