REAL fuzzy logic!

dear C DM,
what kind of bad dope have you been smoking!? :) The topic of this thread is the LACK of minutes and data roll over on cell phone plans. Obviously YOU are a cell phone provider employee trying to make an ineffective joke. Sheep!

----------

Really? Which phone company do YOU work for? And where is the roll over data? If you think that cell pone plans are affordable then YOU deserve to be ripped off by the cell companies! :) If ANY other company behaved like the cell phone companies governmental consumer protection agencies would be all over them! So the question is how do the cell phone companies get away with this crap?
Oh and by the way PLEASE tell em which other non-cell phone company forces you into 2-3 year contracts and charges? Not even credit card companies pull these kind of stunts!

----------

why doesn't it roll over = greed

The question then becomes:
Are cell phone companies MORE greedy than, say a car company or a grocery store?

Answer: Of course not!

The next question is: But then why don't car companies and grocery stores function the same way as the cell phone companies?

Hmmmm very interesting!

The cell phone companies mostly sell INTANGIBLE, DIGITAL GOODS.
But does that mean that they should be free to take back those intangible, digital goods if you don't use them? Hogwash!

The above and carriers have the same mentality-they love money.

Carriers don't make money off of cellular use any longer. They make money off of data & data overages! Thank goodness for T-Mobile and their unlimited data plans :)

I pay less for unlimited data with T-Mobile than I did for 3 GB per month with AT&T!!!
 
ATT has prepaid? Can you use an iPhone on ATT prepaid? Paying $150 a month for 2 iPhones is just stupid I think. Such a rip off
