It's dishonest...

We have cell phones thru T-Mobile. We were told that after a certain period of time, we'd be able to get new phones. I don't have a problem with my old phone, but my wife has the same exact model bought at the same time, and it's started going on the fritz. So we went to the T-mobile store and looked at new phones.

Turns out that the "free" phone is free, but you have to pay $18 to get it. An "upgrade" charge. This is dishonest. I think most of these cell phone companies are doing about the same thing - hidden charges not mentioned by the sales people.

We as a nation are starting to droop, and there's why. We've forgotten our integrity.

If we want to get out the economic slump we're in, we've got to start remembering it.

$18 is reasonable price to pay for a cell phone, considering that it probably costs half that to manufacture. But why advertize that it's free? To get a slight edge over the competition... it's dishonest. I would like to find a cell phone company that has total honesty as a business policy.
