Warning Rant!

OK. I've been in the Cellphone business for 6 years and I've got to get this out. WHEN YOU PURCHASE A "FREE" OR CHEAP CELL PHONE, YOU ARE NOT PAYING REGULAR PRICE! These phone are worth at least $150 to $200. The companies sell them at a discount to get you to sign the 1 or 2 year contract. So when you break the phone you cannot buy another for "FREE", unless your contract is expired.

Another side to that is you would have to pay $150 and up to not sign a contract. So don't expect to go into a store and demand a "FREE" or Cheap cellphone with no contract. It is annoying to the salesperson and you look like an ARSE!!!

I have had numerous ARGUMENTS with customer who do not understand this.

Side note to cellphone companies. Stop the insanity. Do away with contracts and break fees. Sell the phones for $150 and up and make the customers put value in them.
