I’m assuming a hard No.

That’s a good point. Profit margins on my $90 a month phone plan must be insane. That said, my home 5G internet is only $35 a month, so I’m not doing that bad.

I’m not saying I feel swindled, I’m saying I find the whole thing really odd.

I want the better camera and larger screen, but I do not want to pay full price. Verizon won’t subsidize it for me because I am still “paying off” the “free” iPhone 13 they gave me when I traded in my pretty new iPhone 11. The “free” consists of them billing me $22 a month, and them paying that charge themselves on the same bill. I’m sure there are explanations for how this benefits them, but I struggle to understand this Rube Goldberg billing strategy.

I definitely don’t know all the ins and outs of lemmygrad, but I think I have gotten the correct answers, including this one in particular

Can you explain what these things are? The only one I understand is obviously comic strips. Also, join us at !tinnedseafood@lemmy.world Also, how do I make that a link?(Thanks!) (Or type italics, bold, or strikethrough here on lemmy?)

Wait, this is a thing? I definitely have some consoles for you!
