Why Risk Losing Us as Customers?
A couple of friends just switched to T-Mobile. They ended up getting two new phones and a good plan for seniors. As existing customers, there doesn't seem to be any special offers that can help us a...
Many Years Ago? Is this based on when they all had 2 year contracts and with those contracts the consumer often pays up to ½ the device cost with the average price for top range devices at $600? The average profits AT&T was making $45 per 100 while on contract and if the customer liked their phone, and went monthly they'd make 55-75 per $100?
Without devices tied to contracts it's a lot different playing field. Carriers don't get discounts on devices like traditional buying in bulk think they would. As I pointed out if you switched you may be paying more over 3 years than you would if you just EIP the device. Look at the numbers. Just because you want a new device doesn't mean a carrier should lose money giving it to you.
If you are on a fixed budget check those numbers and make sure you are paying the same if not less switching. I am on a fixed budget myself, and I always look at the numbers.
