...is so appropriate. It is about time that consumers had the same freedom they do to choose their automobile or other product. Buy what you want, from whoever you want and do what you want with it, as long as it is within the law. So, you buy your phone, choose a provider or p2p network and do with it as you will. for those unable to spend the cost price of a phone, they either spread payments out, perhaps including them in their airtime contract or use the same credit facilities available for other purchases. All 4 networks stock the same phones, with the only difference being a temporary exclusivity period for the latest fashion phone.
