It seems that all my life I have been subjected to some phone company’s tricks. For years, they would send a bill that was so complicated with fees and charges; no one could make sense of it. Now that they are required to explain their charges, they have switched tactics. Nowadays they are trying to force a service on you that you may or may not want.
Verizon Wireless is the first company that is starting this practice. When you buy a non smartphone, they are Requiring that you subscribe to a data plan. I think these phone carriers should be ashamed at themselves for forcing people to pay more just to use their phone. I hope some legislation is forthcoming!
