Our complicated carrier relationships - Top Shelf

2013-03-29
until early 2011 the other way to get an iphone the United States was to sign up AT&T in 2009 the only way to get the motorola droid it's a sign of rising back then you weren't shopping for a carrier you're shopping for a phone but now things have evened out all four major US carriers have the iphone and they all have the galaxy s3 and soon they'll all have the galaxy s4 and the HTC One so the question is what are you really getting out of here and why do we all seem to be in such incredibly long relationships well Carrie idea Sprint t-mobile SIM on tmobile 18 teen virgin veteran my might I've sprint right 18teen I've tried them all they all suck but sprint sucks the least to my experience services all right um but I mean I'm personally thinking about switching over not should not sure where you at them why do you start with t-mo four-decade um I'm not kind of lazy how long have you guys uh for about four years now have you ever been in Mike relationship with a person for four years yes how's that gonna turn out in tragedy how long have you got a teensy um since like freshman year in high school so okay yeah you don't know that so I guess I get ya yes right now like eight years for I very it's been maybe five years now t-mobile wants you to switch the newly renegade carrier is banking on an aggressive marketing campaign and what it says are far simpler plans for a flat fee and no contract you get unlimited minutes messaging and however much data you want to pay for this t-mobile says there's no two-year commitment required you can leave whenever you want but even cheaper prices don't seem to encourage people to switch especially because when you do the math t-mobile's prices aren't that much cheaper but it's not the devices and it's not the prices that keep you committed to your carrier and no one seems to be happy with that relationship would you switch if the price and other carrier is twenty percent lower no not really I don't want to go through the hassle of like changing over 50 for summer maybe how much cheaper twenty percent to be honest I pay about ten dollars a month for an unlimited data and limited texts and I've got three hours of cops hey you know I want you to know I'm moving cuz I twenty percent jeepers you leave no there a 50-percent cheaper I consider it your wireless carrier has become the longest relationship in your life and all of us seem to be settling when those two year contract sent the easiest thing to do is just sign back up t-mobile seems to be banking on people being fed up with AT&T and the other more traditional carrier plans and yes its plans are indeed more transparent but at the end of the day t-mobile's biggest competitor isn't AT&T it's just apathy
