Every provider such as Verizons, AT&T, Sprint, or others have many packages offered to the customers. Some of them look really cheap for the costumers so that they are attracted to take the package. This is one of the tricks which has been used by those providers so that people can buy a gadget and also sign of contract using their telecommunication service whether it will be voice service, internet service, or 3G data service. This is why people have to be careful when reading those ads from the providers, because those ads are sometimes so tricky.
The package will look so cheap at the beginning, but if you have closer look, you can realize that it is really expensive than you buy it directly from stores. For example, recently Verizon offered cheap Gateway Netbook with 3G connectivity (built-in) by only 150 dollars to the customers and also bundled with Verizon’s internet package contract for two years. Well, at first, it looks so cheap because today we can see that many Netbooks with the same quality cost over 400 dollars. But, you have to see the 2 year contract with Verizon.
What you really have to do is to count for the two years contract and you can see that this package is not cheap at all. It is just the same or even cheaper price if you buy the Netbook from any computer stores.
