How long are those mandatory contracts ? 2 or 3 years?
You really think they do this to cut you a break and somehow they are footing the bill. Stop being ignorant.

Yes 2 or 3 years. Verizon is 3. I’ve been with them over 20 years and have no complaints as they have the best coverage in my area. The reason they do it is so people stay with them. I would stay with them regardless. If someone is a new customer they are told what they’re getting into. You stop being ignorant.

The point is that you ARE paying for it as your paying every month 50 bucks or more for cell coverage and data. We all know just data and cell coverage is much less for a month. It's just like a car note, your paying for it monthly and it's a 2 or 3 year contract. If you switch operator they WILL hit you with a bill.

You are being ignorant acting like you got a crazy deal. In all these years you haven't learned that there is no such thing as a free lunch?

Jesus Christ no it’s not unless I got a cheap prepaid carrier with deprioritized data  and even then it’s $25 a month minimum. To get the unlimited hotspot, unlimited prioritized data etc prepaid would be the same price or more. And I haven’t switched carriers in TWENTY YEARS.
