I'm making this thread for someone who might be interested. I got a letter from T-mobile a couple of days ago telling me about how I can get a IPhone 11, $0 down abd $40 a month. I have been with AT&T for well over 15 years. Just letting people Ihere know about this promotion who are interested in a IPhone. I have a Samsung Galaxy 10 S +. Have fun IPhone users.

I wish we had deals like that up here we get screwed on cellphone service in Canada. I'm waiting for Black Friday to see if I can get a decent deal on an upgrade and I figure if I can pull out of it at $110 and maybe get a gift card with the purchase i'll be doing well. Right now with 2 Iphone 8's and a 6 (mine) and a flip phone I bought outright I'm paying just under $300 but 3/4 phones are paid for and one doesn't use data or text. The only saving grace is anytime I have upgraded in the past I just paid the value of the phone over time no up-cost on the unit itself

I made the mistake one time of entering the US without putting a US talk and text plan on it cost me over $500 when I got home I talked it down to $200 but the next time I went I forwarded mine to my business phone shut mine off and bought a burner as soon as I crossed the border and checked messages remotely. Might have cost me $50 or so with the calling card
 
So with a 2-year commitment, you're only paying LIST PRICE for the promo phone ...

I seen an ad the other night on TV I believe it was T-Mobile unlimited talk and text, 1GB data and an Iphone 11 for $59.99 on a 2 year contract. I assumed Mix's deal was an upgrade on that for some reason I probably should have known better LOL
 
They do what they do today is because competition is so tease. They know most people today can't afford to pay out right 1k for a phone. So they let you pay for it over a period of time. That way you get the phone and they get to make money from the plan you choose. They make the payments stretch over time to make money for the company. The norm today is unlimited plans. I remember my first plan was with Sprint. The plan said $40 a month and you had a certain amount of minutes to use. Once you went over your minutes each minute cost 40 cents. So I was paying regularly $100 a month and couldn't understand why. I finally figured it out.

It's all a game with these companies today. No more pay phones any more since the cellphone is used by just about everybody out here. I remember every 2 blocks there was a pay phone. You used change to make a phone call or you made a collect call that someone had to accept first before the phone call could be completed. I remember my first cellphone. It was a prepaid phone that looked like the shoe phone Maxwell Smart used. I got out of using a prepaid and went to a plan.

Now what they do is have a setup for paying for a phone for 2 years or so. By that time another company will have invented another new version that in some cases makes the old phone you have obsolete. Or at least they want you to think that way. I remember at one time a cellphone was used just to make a phone call. Now there's so much the newer phones can do including taking pictures and videos. Who would have ever thought 30 years ago we would have phones could do what these phones do today. Let alone a phone costing 1k. I remember when the first Iphone came out they wanted $500 and people were standing in line for a long time or ordering the phone online to get one. That was the first phone that you could get online with. The price for that phone was $500 when it first came out and people were dying to get one. I waited till the price came down to $100. I dare you to event find an original Iphone anywhere.

The trick is getting people to think what I cal thel got to have it habit. They get people to think they got to have a certain something. The bottom line is need vs. want. We want certain things of course. The question is the thing something you need or just want. That's like us getting people to want something from us that they didn't originally think of. The first thing is having them to say I must have you! Not even considering anyone else for their event.

Mix you are wrong you and the people you associate with can’t afford a $1000 phone. I along with many many others can

You missed what I said. I said many people can't afford to pay 1k outright. That's where they designed a way to get the phone by paying it off in monthly payments.

They have that for houses, cars, major appliances and pretty much anything else you want to buy. What a country!

You missed what he meant. For a lot of people, putting together $1,000 isn't that hard. I personally paid for my Pixel outright last time I bought as well, it was about a $900 phone.
