Seems these folks have taken after android. Nothing beats paying cash upfront for my Razr Maxx ($736) and paying a premium for my mom and pop service provider, paying for my apps (no free aps, no facebook, no twitter) I just use weather, reuters news and a paid angry birds ap. I still get commercials and popups. Nothing pisses me off more than reading a news article and my phone switching to loading a commercial video that I cannot cancel. This should be illegal. It is forcing data on my capped plan and if I needed to make a emergency call, I could not.
those ads are built into your apps from those free services. If the ads are directly on your phone, you have serious problems on YOUR PHONE. And when you complain about an already expensive and limited data plan- that is only your fault that you went with one of the most expensive and limited carriers, not anyone else's.
reply to anoyed_droid If you are only using paid apps, there is something called 'push ads'(AirPush), it may be installed by default on your phone by your carrier.
