In the USA, when you want to upgrade to a better cell phone, you must always sign a new contract. The new contract begins a new 1 or 2 year contract. Did you know that in Asia and Europe you can buy a new cell phone without extending your contract with the cell phone company? In Asia you buy the cell phone at your favorite electronics store, pop in your ID chip and you’re ready to go. No signing a new contract.

Did you also know that in Europe and Asia they never pay for minutes on incoming calls?

How long before Americans wake up and see that we have been getting ripped off by greedy cell phone companies?

What do you think? Your comments are always welcome.
