who would ever pay a $1500 activation fee, or a $500 montly fee unless you used more than 6000 minutes/month (which u can get for $200 plus a $36 activation for the same service)

I guess the "exclusive content" is what drives the price up. That, and the 4-month upgrades.

Besides, anyone who can afford it will probably pay for it.

This will be comparatively successful.

The reason why is because of the larger nationwide companies, customer service and customer care (two different things, indeed) are going down the tubes.

Someone who has the money to say they're important will automatically be deemed very important by those that they call in for such service. In addition to the "status" that possessing such phones will bring.

Every service industry has the high-end, high-brow player that caters only to that crowd and pretty much shrugs off anyone else that can't get past the bouncer. It's alright, though, unless you're paying them, you'll hardly even notice that they're there.

Heck, even Apple used to be one of these players (20th Anniversary Macintosh?) up ...

No. 'tween the activation fee an' the monthly charge, they's askin' $7500 fo' the first year. So their likely customer base consists o' Paris Hilton, an' thas' about it. 😳

On da plus side, I guess what very few customers dey get will be pure profit, tho. But you gotta rich AND a sucka to go there.

This service is for people who can afford such service. If you don't understand it, you can't afford it.




And I'm right in the same boat with you.

this service is for the guy(or gal) that gets driven in a Maybach or Rolls, where exclusivity and top notch ass kissing service is a must. They will probably get a couple thousand subscribers in big cities like NYC.

Bingo. And at $500 bucks a month, a few thousand subscribers is all they need. You'll probably have a personal service rep who'll schlep all over town for whatever things the super-rich want (Expensive booze, "companionship", etc...).

heh. Could you imagine...

"Hey, my name's on the list. Behind me is my cell phone guy. He's not on the list. But you have two seconds to put him there. Oh yeah, send someone down here to carry his stuff. He's gonna do an esn change or whatever when we get inside and settled. Bring us beer. Lots of beer."



I don't think I'd mind being a roving customer service rep for this company. 😁

Vida Guerra's personal phone assistant. I'd be in the market for that kind of job. Teehee.

You'd be much better off getting a Vertu phone and using it on an unlimited plan with whomsoever you choose. It comes with a dedicated button on it that connects you to a Concierge who can give directions, make reservations, etc.

The thought of having a personal Concierge makes me giddy.
