Re: Churning Mobile Phone Carriers

In the last 3 months I have switched to Verizon, TMobile and AT&T and none of them have done a HP. I'm very surprised anyone would accept a HP for just signing up for service. Maybe if they are financing a phone, obviously, but just new service? No thanks.

That is some aggressive churning! I hope it's profitable for you. 

 

I agree with your feelings on inquiries, but to @Brian_Earl_Spilner's point, as soon as Verizon approved me for service, they also said I was approved to finance a phone. (No thanks.) So they don't seem to draw the distinction the same way you and I do.
