Why cell phone company Love you long time

[Jerry A]

AT@T and Verizon and TMobile love you because you have a contract with them. I got rid of AT@T and now an with USMOBILE and no contract. With USMOBILE I will save about $500.00 or more. Check out the rating of USMobil and I hope you do not have a contract, Good Luck. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/usmobile.com

The problem with the smaller cell phone companies is the lack of coverage. For instance where I moved to, Virgin Mobile had very spotty coverage. ($45/mo with an iphone)

I have verizon, prepaid, its $60 a month for 1200 minutes free nights and week ends 5GB of data and an iphone 6 + I bought the phone off Craigslist for $200

Part of the issue surrounding these contracts people sign is the fact that they are paying for the new phone over the life of their contract. which can add $30-$40 a month to your cell phone bill.

aside from that, did you know text messaging literally costs the cell phone companies to send and receive? Costs them literally nothing because it uses the same transmission as a telephone call.

And how about those data caps? Big push to get everyone to use data and now the companies are charging an increasing amount of money for using data... Until people demand change it wont change.
