Boost mobile reads these forums and knows every move we make. To think we can "con " anything out of them is a sure way to anger them.
Would you like to be cruising on your hot Sprint phone on Bmcda unltd a month from now and Boost decides to kick off everyone who has a Sprint phone on there because of comments and attitudes like yours?
YOU are the one who thinks it's a con. I look at it all as a privilege and a bonus that I don't want taken away because of an attitude like that. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
People messed with Tmobile's Sidekick plan loophone too much. Unlimited data on any phone even though it's only supposed to be Sidekicks. One dummy crowed about it on Tmobiles own forum. One online wireless magazine told the world. A week later, it was shut down.
Page Plus had Blackberry Service, for free...people bragged about taking advantage. Gone.
Att had unlimited web for $20 a month, people started tethering laptops to it and bragging about it. Att cuts it down to 100 megs a month.
All those were bonuses that people screwed up by being too greedy, too arrogant, too casual until it was all taken away.

To add another example: Verizon prepaid 99 cents a day web used to give unlimited web to ALL Verizon devices just about, till some dummies did the same thing Jeff just mentioned. Brag, brag , brag. They then kicked off every smartphone/Blackberry they could and now you cannot even get a regular phone with a full html browser on there. Great going guys. Thanks.
Be happy with what they give us. We could have a helluva lot less, real fast. Serious. Happened at T-Mobile, Verizon, Att and even Page Plus . What makes us so special?
