they would offer one year contracts. two-year mandatory contracts is not helping them win any customers.

I agree. One year contracts should be something the Gov passes. WIth technology changing and plans going up and down, the consumer needs to know what they are getting into.

should NOT mandate anything dealing with how a company sells their phones or plans. if they make money off this and keep enough customers, that don't care then good for them.

the government already has enough mandates and regulations.

if the customer dosen't want to, or cant afford to buy a device and stay in a 2yr contract, then don't sign up for it.

once again, its not any of the governments business whether or not a company should allow only 2yr contracts.

if the customer needs to know what they are getting into, they need to research.

its not like wireless phone/data companies are bliss.

maybe not every consumer knows about in depth enough about mobile service to be aware of places like phonescoop, mobileburn, phonearena, rcrnews, etc.

but they have heard about consumer reports and widespread consumer anaylsis companies like that to use some common sense before investing.

I totally agree. I also feel that a two year contract is generous when compared to Canada's 3 Year contracts and it cost an arm and a leg to break the contract. They just got number portability did they see an increase from changing to other networks last year? A big Resounding NO!!!! Two years is very awesome comparatively.

Don't be silly.

Europe:

Get into a 18 month agreement, get a free phone.

Buy your phone, get month to month no contract.

THAT'S how it should be. Contracts should be erradicated. I'm willing to front the cost of a phone now if I don't get into a contract.

That's just me. I like to change when I want to without paying audacious "cancel" fees. If I knew I was staying where I live for two years, a two year contract ain't so bad.

AT&T has had this for years, even before they got rid of 1yr contract pricing. 2yr contract with handset discount... no contract for postpaid plans provided you pass credit check and have your own equipment.

YES, however, you don't get mobile to mobile, and there's only four price plans to choose from.

Yes, and they shouldn't include free nights and weekend and the such. Instead they should charge different rates for calling landline vs mobile numbers. Let's copy Europe!

99% of the calls I make are to other mobile numbers. You're right. Let's copy Europe. Free nights and weekends is a jip. The only carrier it matters on is Sprint cause it starts at 7.

@durkadurkha You are an idiot. You arent reading with your eyes, you are ****ting with your mouth.

WHAT WE SAID:

If Helio had ONE YEAR CONTRACTS then we would sign up without issue.

Everyone knows Helio is an VNMO and piggy backs on Sprints network. That has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

Go back to bed you moron.
