Appalachian Wireless = borderline rip-off

PC_You_Know Wrote:I'll say this, I find it funny that App. is charging hundreds for phones like the Samsung Finesse and other such phones, when I renew my contract in Nov., I'll be getting the Samsung Impression which won the best phone at the annual technology event for 99 cents by renewing my contract through Walmart. That's a 3.2 inch touch screen phone with a full slide out keyboard for 99 cents, App. is ripping people off with the prices of their phones and plans.
Technically, our Finesse has been $49.99 when you sign up for service except for this month, in which we have been running the Spyder II.

A company like AT&T reserves so many phones through manufacturers like Motorola, Samsung, etc. that they get their phones at a cheaper price than we can. They are able to do this because they have 70 million customers to our 97,000 customers. It's basically like buying gasoline at Joe's Holler Mart compared to buying it at Speedway or BP. You will notice Joe's Holler Mart is a few cents higher because they are a smaller company compared to the big boys.
