Re: Increased ETF justified; bogus $1.99 data fees not
Lame. You think Motorola charges us the same price as Verizon? If you do you're delusional or work for one of their retail stores. It's usually you guys who defend every customer unfriendly pricing scheme they pass our way. At the same time, they are upping your quotas and taking spiffs away yet you still field your blind devotion.
The MSRP of the phone IS NOT what the carrier pays. |

kudos:12 | I'm self employed and have never been associated with any cell phone company. Nor do I own any stock for that matter. Secondly, I'm not defending anyone. I think the ETF is a pure money grab, but I also am not naive enough to believe that a smartphone costs $100 or that Verizon doesn't pay close to retail for it.

Agreed but to be fair is I have a 5 year old phone that been on contract for 5 years...year 3-5 should be lower monthly fee than the first 2 since the phone subsidy is part of the monthly bill. |
