The Federal Communications Commission is letting Verizon lock phones to its network for longer periods, eliminating a requirement to unlock handsets 60 days after they are activated on its network.
The change will make it harder for people to switch from Verizon to other carriers.
I don’t get it. If the contract is only for a dollar, wouldn’t the sales person not make any commission? Wouldn’t you have a receipt for the full retail purchase? Seems like this wouldn’t take anything to get corrected. Even if it couldn’t be corrected, anyone internally should be able to look up this $1 Contract order and the full retail order in the account notes. Why wouldn’t you go back to the store that did this and address it with them?
And if it’s a device payment agreement for $1 split over 2 or 3 years, and you have no one helping you, you could still just pay the dollar and be out of contract immediately. If it’s an actual 2 or 3 year contract with an ETF, how’d you even get one of those anymore? Everywhere I shop they only offer full retail or installment plans.
when i worked for an ‘authorized agent’, our payments from the carrier were based on number of signups or contracts, and not at all on the cost of phones associated with them.
