Re: bring on the price regulation said by dvd536:said by tmc8080:sorry to bring on the devils advocate postition here, but:
sometimes companies have to be TOLD what to charge rather than letting the DUOPOLY market work-- because apparent you the public are too stupid to stop paying these higher prices!
too stupid? pullllease. hard to do when rape / gouge is standard operating policy for all these wireless crooks. FWIW my phone doesn't do anything besides make/receive phone calls. $7/month prepaid tracfone works best (~$20 for 3 mos), plus carrying an android tablet around for free wifi calls (go google!). compare that with $200+ for a tablet/phone plus a data plan which is by the byte usage, plus so-called unlimited (which in reality is 3k minutes), and text which you pay extra for-- either blocks or unlimited. All this can run $80+ on a post paid account, with the average running $120 - $160 per phone and still not have unlimited data. More often than not, a prepaid service is CHEAPER than post paid. If you must keep a specific number get a dirt cheap voip service like OOMA for (AT MOST* $13) a year.
The still little known secret is that you can still carry around a cell phone for emergencies w/o service to call 911-- so a slightly used tablet phone is all you need espeically in a city where wifi bleeds everywhere. Maybe when more people "GO CHEAP" and cancel their cellphone plans in major metro markets they'll actually consider lowering the prices there.. |
