Sounds like something telecoms would like, buying those big expensive phones that keep you on their 2 year contracts (24 months)

- wyldfire 11y agoThat would work, but only if people appreciated the scope of the risk of continued operation of their vulnerable phone.
- droopybuns 11y agoI sincerely think this meme should be considered dead. http://time.com/money/3991578/verizon-2015-mobile-cell-phone-no-contract/ http://time.com/money/3991578/verizon-2015-mobile-cell-phone... I work in the mobile. I am experiencing this daily. IF normal consumers gave a shit about patching old phones, THEN we have a legitimate shot at fixing this problem. But carriers are generally transitioning away from treating handsets as a revenue source and focusing more on transport. So please- think hard about repeating this cheap shot. It's easy and can win you internet points, but I am arguing that now is the best time in history that we could start making progress on this issue. Comments like this do not help move the ball forward.
- cordite 11y agoThank you for educating me on this matter. Though from what I've witnessed, even though it is unreasonable, it seems most non-techs expect the carriers to do it automatically for them without their involvement.
