IT'S NOT FREE!!!

Why do people still think phones are free? Nothing is free in this society. If the phone was really free then why do the salemen ask you to sign up for a one or two year contract.

If the phone was really free, then tell the saleman, give me the phone for free, with no contract! I thought it was FREE! Of course, they won't give it to you. They will slap you before they give it to you for FREE!

So this is what really happens with the so call free phone. You end up buying the usually $39.99 plan or something. After they hook you with there plan, and you go home with your so-called free phone. One month later, you get the first bill. Then you see the amazing price for this so-called free phone. You'll then total the contract and then say ...

I'd say it's free. Let me ask you this. Is someone said they'd give you a Free $30,000 automobile, but you had to provide your own gas, buy insurance to operate it, and pay for your routine oil changes would you complain about it "not really being free"

I just received my "free" RAZR, as opposed to paying several hundred dollars for it as many have had to do. I don't resent the monthly usage plan which was less than I paid at Sprint. It was indeed a Free phone as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not dumb guys. I know the service is not free! That's why I pay. duh duh duh. If I thought the service was free, then why would I even have to write about paying for contracts and stuff in my post? duh duh duh again. I know I have to pay for service!

I'm saying the phone is not for free, period.

You guys use the word "Free" differently than I do. You guys say "Free" and you know you will have to perform a duty for getting something. In this case the phone. No phone unless, you sign and pay me for the service. Or in other words, you have to do something for it to be a free phone.

Now I use "Free" like this. I don't have to do anything for the phone to be free. So when I say the phone is not free. I mean, I do NOT have to do any...

Choco, while I don't necessarily agree with the tactic Badibada elected (and apparently the moderators don't either, since the post is gone), you set yourself up for that type of treatment with a ridiculous post arguing semantics. No one here has ever maintained that the phone is "free."

I don't know why you chose to come in here with your rant - twice - but I'll give you your same advice back. Be happy with yourself. There are a great many things in life that ARE truly free, they're just not material possessions. So clam down and take a deep breath. Then post something relevant or helpful.

bbbssport, I agreee with you in part. I agree with you that there are more in life than material possessions. I think most people would agree to that.

Maybe when you first read my topic, you thought you were going to read something about phone related usages. Sure, I can write about that! Have you checked out my other posts?! It's all about the use of the phone!

But, I do not need to limit myself to writting about phone usages. Most people write about phone usages here, because that's a hot topic. But people do NOT need to only write about that. They can write about anything about phones they want! And they do! It's their choice not anyone elses to decide.

Therefore, I choose to write about free phones.

I believe this post is ...

Ummmm, WHAT other posts? The first post I ever saw from you was a few days ago asking about the RAZR's standby time (which was ANOTHER pointless post - how would anyone outside of a research lab know or care if a phone has a 10 day standby time?).

If your idea of a kicking good time is to go forum to forum and post irrelevant cr@p to see what kind of reaction you get, they have a name for that - it's called "trolling." Since you apparently don't even own a V3 - and don't have any intention of owning one - I'll modify my prior request. Post something relevant or helpful - to V3 owners.

Out.

Whatever bbbssport, your just picking a fight with me. How do I know? Your just bad mouth me throughout your last post. Okay, this one for you.

No I don't have a v3 yet. Never said I did. I was doing researching on the phone first, before I was going to buy it. And asking questions helps. Everyone should do that, stupid.

Your dumb! Battery life is very important and you should know that.

Your dumb becasue this forum is not only for v3 owners but also potently owners too.

Not going to read anymore of your replies. I know your just going to bad mouth me again and again in them, until the cows come home. So, for this little posts battle thing your having with me. You win! Seems like your one anger dude. đŸ‘ŋ Take a chill p...

I'm not picking a fight with you at all! 😕 But you ARE trolling, or at least you are following the typical pattern. The response you just gave - flaming someone that disagrees with you - is classic trolling behavior â˜šī¸ .

I stated an opinion, as someone that has been a part of this forum for going on a year and a half, that your contributions thus far have been dubious at best. Everyone knows phones aren't free. And standby time has nothing to do with battery life, because IRL you USE your phone. So, I'll repeat myself - contribute something of value!

See, you're having the same conversations on multiple forums. That undermines your credibility - your posts have nothing to do with the V3. You're not using these forums to get or give i...
