Taken to the logical extreme, you wouldn't buy anything because any promise made by a vendor is fake.
People used social proof of Tmobile's lifetime pricing for years. Then new management comes in, and they can renege on existing contracts?
That should be illegal unless you think contracts are BS too.
- SoftTalker 2y agoNo, I don't think contracts are BS, but I also have lived long enough to know that any time words like "free" and "lifetime" or "always" or "never" are used in a marketing campaign, there's always a catch.
- wink 2y agoBuying something like this as a 30y old? Yeah, probably garbage. But if I read that correctly that they specifically marketed that to retired people or close to retiring... it kinda sounds different. 55 to 75 (or whatever the average lifespan was when this was up), you might want to think they thought this through. Lifelong rental agreements after selling your property are not uncommon in some countries, and you should know that you're gambling.
