> Get a $200 iphone5 from AT&T, next day unlock it without paying ETF and get a cheap prepaid T-Mobile sim and never use the AT&T sim again; thus not paying AT&T's voice/data fees(and we all know they get you on overages).
Huh? You would still have to pay your monthly contract to AT&T even if you no longer used the AT&T sim.
- smtddr 13y agoIf you're not using the AT&T sim, then you can never incur overage. I don't have the data to back it up, but I'm pretty sure overages are a significant part of their profits. If I'm wrong about that then my argument falls apart and I accept defeat.
- kalleboo 13y agoIf you're not using the AT&T SIM, you're also not putting any load on their network, and they can oversell it more without spending any money on network upgrades.
- DanBC 13y agoThat just sounds like they are miss-selling their product and they should face some kind of regulation to prevent it happening. Caveat Emptor and everything, but routinely exploiting ignorant customers should not be a business plan.
