A Legal Issue question
How is it possible for cell phone companies to state buy and phone "get one free" When it is the furthest thing from the truth. You are made obligated to open up a new account, pay the taxes and sign up for a 2 yr contract. Ext Ext. "FREE" constitutes no obligation buy this phone and you get this back up for no questions asked. I am just curious how they are allowed to use that terminology when its not true.

Normally the * requires new activation on verizon wireless network credit approval on approved price plan* says it all.
...
Exactly right. It's free on conditions. Not exactly something new in the business world. Right now Comcast is giving free business voice service away with internet purchase...but you have to sign a 12 month contract to get it.
...
They clearly state in the terms what "free" entails.
They are telling you "this phone usually costs x amount of money, but if you sign this contract with us we'll give you the phone at no additional cost."
There is nothing wrong with using the term in this manner.
If a consumer actually thinks they can get anything for "free" they didn't pay attention in high school.

or the custy believes they are intitled to handouts, because they "grace" the carrier by their pressence
...
Apparently you are ignoring the little "*" and the terms and conditions attached to the FREE offer and clearly explained. That's why it's legal.
