Re: How is forcing a data plan legal?
Trust us all there is just no way around the issue. You could take them to court but that it will be no help.

Re: How is forcing a data plan legal?
Its legal because they don't force you to use their service, is the easiest answer. Then again if you buy it yourself, t mobile doesn't force data plan, so I'd suggest get t mobile. If you want verizon, sprint, or att you have to play by what their rules are.

Re: How is forcing a data plan legal?
Well, its pretty simple. They are not forcing you to user their service. If you don't want the features they are advertising, then you can go with another provider. Its kind of like how cable companies offer packages of channels, even though you may not watch QVC, you still have to pay for it
gten, while I kind of agree with you on on all phones should be allowable on all networks, that would be a nightmare in the US. Theres just too many differences in networks to make it feasible. Now if the industries would come up with a standardized system that would be great, but thats just not going to happen in the US. Alot of companies would loose some of their competitive advantage.

Ha. No thanks. I have no plans to do anything about it. Just wondering how they can do it. Where can you draw the line? What if carriers started forcing all smartphone users to pay an additional $30/month for 3-way calling, regardless of whether you wanted it or not? I don't see any difference between this hypothetical and the actual data plan rules.

I think they just got tired of people getting smart phones and running up $3000.00 bills for data and the customers telling them to F off.

Re: How is forcing a data plan legal?
not when you buy a smartphone.
OP the reasoning for the "data plan on all smartphones" is to prevent you from using $500 worth of data and them having to cut off your service because you cant/wont pay the bill. its cheaper in the long run to just pay the $29.99 data plan. if you dont want data, dont buy a smartphone. your only other option is companies like boost or virgin mobile. i believe they have the "everything" plans for like $50. |
