How it works: this is T-mobile cheating people

This is the same for almost any independent dealer.

First, the dealer's (Google's) cancellation fee may only be if you cancel and don't return the phone (I haven't read Google's terms to know if they allow for this long return period). The dealer doesn't get paid by T-Mobile if you cancel within 4 months, even though T-Mobile is going to collect an ETF from you.

So if you activate today, then cancel next month, T-Mobile gets your ETF... AND doesn't have to pay the dealer! What a scam against their own dealers. The dealer did their part and got you to sign up (and not return the phone within the trial period), but they still lose the phone. Thus, dealer ETFs were invented.

It would be generous of Google to allow a 4-month return ...

I will pay full retail price to the carrier of my choice if they can give me a break on my monthly price plan. This is how carriers can play fair.

Sure T-Mobile does this...Even More Plus. Those plans are designed to attract customers from other carriers. If this proves to be successful then one might see the other carriers respond in kind. I doubt it though. Verizon and AT&T are both arrogant enough to ignore what T-Mobile and Sprint do. They have in the past.

YOU STILL BROKE THE CONTRACT!!!!

And tmob lost out on all of your monthly fee's for service for 23 months. So yes, they have a right to recoup their loss. Again, dont like the rules? Buy full retail or dont break a contract.

Simple.

You seem to be a very anti-consumer & pro- corporation person.
