Re: No way in hell they should do this....

Wouldn't this be offset by the fact that you'd only have to buy your phone once, and could carry it from provider to provider as you saw fit? I can't see this scenario being worse than phone companies having to take in two-year-old phones after a user's required subscription time has passed.

They get the money out of you one way or the other. With unlocked phones, sure, the full cost comes up-front, but then you're pretty well set.

At least that's the way I see it.

I beauty of unlocked phones is if your provider can't deliver on their promises, you can just move to another provider. now if the companies aren't giving you cheap phones then why have contracts and ETFs
