It's so they get money to get 4G in your area. lol, I don't mind it at all. If you really want the phone, you'll pay whatever fees they throw at you, to a point.
omgg shut up already about this.
we've known this for about a month nooow.
if you dont want to pay. dont get the phone.
you got to pay to play.
not only that but there have been numerous postings of deals that can save you paying the fee. its still much cheaper paying something UNLIMITED. than paying $25 for something that gives 2GB a month *cough AT&T.
