Good example can be seen here. http://www.pynk.com.au/specialoffer

The fact is that this type of dispute is a common. However you are
bring in at least 2 or 3 different areas into a single purchase

Mobile Phones are made by phone companys in a world market. To suite a
world market. That means 12mths warranty on the phone and 6 mths on the
battery. Remember Australia purchase numbers are a dot on the map to
World wide sales.

Mobile Telco contracts are designed to help the Consumer obtain
discount Hardware but it is about Margins. Think of this on a telco
propective. sell 7000 Mobile phones a mth on various plans on average
of $350 per phone plus approx $150 for the dealer channel selling and
promoting the product.
Work out the costs. 7000 x $500 = $3,500,000 per month. That is
$84,000,000 over 24 mths for 7000 customers per mths just to cover
their costs. and from that they need to make their margins.

Telcos want you to buy outright and go on no contract which why prepaid
phones are so competitive. HPP and Free phone are a massive cost.

The world market is more on phone outright purchase. That is why phone
companies do not work with the plan suppliers. It is just a purchase
for them.

Do your self a favour and Buy outright and shop out a competitive plan.
Also instead of buying a expensive $400 to $600 phone, Just buy $200
ones so you can upgrade when ever you want.

As it is easier to have a ***** rather than look at the logistic's of a
contract purchase. It is easier to think. I want the best, For the
Cheapest, with little or no contract and Upgrade for free whenever I
want. But the Realistic level of a Telco is, Unless you spend $500 to
$1000 per month, you are just a small subscriber number to them. Other
wise contracts will stay 24 mths unless the consumer wants cheaper
older phones. But that will never happen.

It is like Woolworths paying for your Fridge so you can put the food
you buy into it because you are a loyal customer. Or fuel companies
paying for your car.. Think about it in a bit more detail... Mobile
phone consumers have a great deal as far as alternitives.
