Re: Bundled services

If you sign a contract for a cell phone for one year, and three months later you find another cell phone company that offers twice as many minutes for the price, does the old cell company have to give you a break? Be careful what you sign.

Actually, I think the argument would be that if you sign a contract fo a cell phone (sprint) for one year, and then your landline phone company (Qwest) comes and says "We're raising your rates, unless you get a cellphone with us"....that would be unfair.

That, in my opinion, is a valid analogy.
