The real fun begins when they try to get clever.

But you could switch to a share plan, not raise your bill by much at all, and then add the new line, thereby getting a discount off of the new phone.

Which phone would you like?

What.. do you not use this for new lines?!

...y'know what? I've never even thought of that, but now I'm gonna use the hell out of it.

And this doesn't seem The-Mobile-Pollutionesque to you? ๐Ÿคจ

It almost never pays the customer in the long run to do this for discounts on new equipment.
