How can you say I'm wrong, and then say prove me write by saying one
doesn't get a $150 phone credit upgrade unless I pay $15 extra for 18
months. Isn't $270 mpore than $150.

IT IS A PRICE INCREASE

No, it isn't. One can cancel the Vision option within their 60 day free
trial period, and it won't cost them a nickel more. There's no time
requirement on how long one needs to have the vision option. What's more, if
they already have vision on their account, and want to keep Vision, it won't
cost them anything else.

As already mentioned by yours truly, if it's an add a phone, it's only
$5/mo, if the primary phone has Vision, if they want to keep the Vision
option, and they can cancel that charge within the 60 day trial period.

Stop trying to spread this bad piece of advice Phillipe.

No it isn't. The Phone Upgrade program wasn't availble before. There
was actually a price decrease lately as my 500 minute plan went from $45
to $40 ... thus, I think they are trying to persuade people to get the
7PM minutes for $5 on a two-year plan.

Two possibilities.

One they charge your account the amount of the rebate ($150).
In 18 months you won't be eligible for a rebate then when you want a new
phone.

Either way its a PRICE INCREASE if they attempt to force you to keep
Vision.

I'm not arguing what the store told you, or that its wrong. I'm just
pointing out its at variance with what osiris has been posting

Again, where does it say on the web site that one has to carry Vision on
their account for 18 months? Inquiring minds want to know ...

There's no force here. There's a give and take.

Ah, I see three posts on this, and think I see the misunderstanding.
This does *not* get a rebate revoked. This is qualification for the
next one.

That's not forcing, that's voluntary. A deal made.

So for a rebate in the future you have to subscribe to Vision for 18
months?

In that case its a MAJOR PRICE INCREASE for htose that might want a
rebate but don't use Vision.

Why do you keep cutting and pasting the same response? Is that the best you
can do?

I'm sorry but this is stupid.
You are taking O/siris's post completely out of context, you are
twisting his words.
I take the post you are ranting about to mean you need to meet the 18
month requirement AND have vision added at the time you get the phone. I
don't see where he say's you HAVE to keep vision for 2 yrs.
Again , are you trolling ?
And I really wish O/siris would just kill file this guy or ignore him,
you two are getting very monotonous, I mean think about rob, do you
think anyone really believes this joke ?
