I wouldn't be surprised if that is happening. With prepaid the subsidies have to be such that carriers don't lose money when customers churn or take the phone to another carrier. I don't doubt that they dont' want to be in the business of distributing iPhones; the money is in the replenishment!</p> <p>2pm to 2am...wow, that's strangely unuseful. I think prepaid carriers that offer clear and customer friendly terms will be successful. Their product is interesting, but their implementation appears to be a risk to their success. We'll see.</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> PrepaidWirelessGuy<br /> www.prepaid-wireless-guide.com/wireless-refill.html<br /> </p> Good point. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is happening.
