Cell Phones require Internet??

Recently, Verizon Wireless has made it mandatory to purchase the internet plan for your phone if it has internet capabilities. Now, consumers MUST pay $10 a month for phones with internet capabilities and another $30 dollars a month for phones with data plans. Talk about cross-subsidy (shifting the cost from one product to another)! This is also why Verizon can sell their phones for such a low cost. They clearly are making back their profits through the service plans!!

Like expected, consumers are not appreciating this switch, and are not fooled by the drop in phone price. Verizon may have a problem on their hand if more videos like these are posted. This is not good WOM!!
