Sometimes Loyality Sucks

[Exchequer]

Last night I finally bit the bullet and picked me up a new iPhone 11. Not because I wanted to but my 6s which I had for years finally started to die. This is the first time I have upgraded since you have to now pay for the phones. I guess that's why I held off as long as I did.

So I log into to ATT and check out the various phones. Pretty much I am adding $25/month to my bill just to have a new phone. I saw other offers for brand new subscribers where they get the phone for free by jumping from their original carrier to ATT.

That really sucks. New customers get a better deal than the regular loyal customer. I have been a customer for years so it seems to me I have to switch providers every-time I upgrade just to get a fair deal. Not just a fair deal, a much better deal.

Well I'm sure this only exists in the world of cell phone carriers.

I looked at the deals but they all involved adding an additional line and I wasn't having issues. Now it got so bad, I couldn't wait another week. Thanks!

Haven't you figured out that ATT repays loyalty with a good screwing? I battle it every year with ATT internet and DirecTV

All the major companies are like that..ive had the same account for 20 years and new customers get a better deal.

And a lot of companies do that including Cox. I had enough of their BS and turned in all my stuff and went with Ozarks Go. You know now, I am loving the phone and I guess I will get used to the extra cost. It's nice not having to charge it after unplugging it for 90 minutes.

I don’t know any of the cell phone or TV companies that don’t suck. All of them will take advantage of their loyal customers if you let them. I stick with the same phone company because if nothing else they at least provide me coverage where I need it. The tv company on the other hand got told to pound sand. I guess I am now officially a 2 year customer or until the special runs out and I swap again.

I made the switch to Straight Talk a few years ago. Yes I buy my phone up front but my monthly charge hasn't gone up since I joined. Best part is that they use Verizon towers so I have no problems with service

Good thing some providers take loyalty seriously!

Yeah cell phones services suck!
