Re: hmmm..... said by PhilAIV:said by fiberguy:some providers won't even let you sign up with your own phone with out a "contract".. The company this senator is referring to (Verzion Wireless) does in fact allow people to sign up without a contract, but most people don't want to pay full retail for a phone If the company will sell me the phone for "Full Price" or at a subsidized price with a contract, then the EFT should be no more than the difference between the two prices (since the EFT is supposed to cover the cost of the subsidy) AND the monthly reduction should be prorated based on the remaining contract term (ex: For a 2 year contract, 1/24th of the subsidy per month). Thus the subsidy should be fully paid up at the end of the contract based on the number of months and the monthly reduction. If Verizon wants to reduce the EFT $10 a month then the EFT should be $240. At $375, the monthly reduction should be $15.65/month. Also, what is the "Full Price" and 24 month "Contract Price" on the droid (ie: Is the difference $375) anyway? |
