What a surprise carriers suck

My opinion of carriers may be a little "out there", but I liken them to drug dealers. They suck you in, then they own you. This may be applied to ISPs also.

What a surprise carriers suck

Lol.. sometimes yes but I've bought 5 devices same time before with only putting down 600.00 which would of cost way more if I bought them out right , so some good things can be from them, but now buy mostly unlocked.

No, went from black to white for no good reason at all.

Yeah i understand why people do it but i pay for my phones outright and yes i may miss out on some crazy carrier deal (24 month free credit crap) and other stuff but I’m fine with it. Personal preference.

I’m not stinky rich or showing off but i sell my other phones myself and recover most cost since it’s still mostly new and put that towards the cost of the new phone.

Overall, i enjoy the peace of mind not dealing with carriers

I do this too ^^^. My carrier is Google Fi which suits my phone needs best. I have no complaints about them other than their customer service is no where near as good as it was when they 1st started out. In all fairness, nobody's customer service is what it used to be - JMHO

We need new phones to mess with - NOW! -

I haven’t ordered yet because I’m irritated that T-Mobile is only going to have the 64GB versions of the Pixel 4 XL.

Just get the unlocked from Google.

Already had one like that....

 

[cpatrick08]

Has anyone asked Google why carriers are shipping early and not them?

 

[EMGSM]

No, went from black to white for no good reason at all.

Lol. As long as you're happy with what you got that's what matters.

I don't ever recall seeing that notation on a delivery. It's a large office building with a receiving department, where they delivered the gift card a few days ago. Hopefully, this doesn't result in a delay. Maybe it has to do with how expensive it is?
