Which is why the last 3 phones I've purchased in the last four years came from a wholesaler, or overseas 3rd party unlocked and non carrier branded.
Unless enough people start dropping their service, buying "go phones" or the like, the carriers will keep this garbage up.

 

All Im seeing here from HTC is "Ooops we havent done it yet on this phone, sorry" And yes pls buy more no contract phones. Maybe they will make prepaid as good as post paid if more ppl go with prepaid phones.
