What Is It About The Cellular Industry?
If we're giving someone a cheap phone, or unnecessary credit, companies need to know that they aren't going to take it and run. Hence, contract for discount.

I think that customers were wanting something for nothing (and still do) but with the addition of the camera on phones now, I've seen an increase in their willingness to spend more.

Psst...you forgot to mention that the customer has to sign ANOTHER 2 year contract to get that deal. "new every two" baby. A 4 year contract for a $100 discount. 😁

Why does everyone want everything for nothing? We love our phones, our mobility, our instant information and communicaztion.

Dude the reason is that people are lazy bums that want want want but expect it for nothing. LAZY BUMS PEOPLE LAZY BUMS....

people call in all the time wanting credits for overages in minutes they say "there is no way i used that many minutes" ugghhh!!! I wold never even THINK of calling my gas company or my electric company and saying " i didnt use that much electricity this month, there is just no way, give me a credit!" i am beginning to think that the cellular industry is the only "utility" that does this! do all wireless companies issue tons of credits for this? or is it just me?
thats exactly how i feel. some people have no shame though
