“Several months ago I was fast talked into buying a new iPhone at Walmart during a “Black Friday” event. The saleswoman lied from beginning to end, the monthly rate was misstated, the purchase cost, the term that the phone would be “Locked” to Verizon, virtually everything. I refuse to pay for a device I returned, or service that I never received.”

The price is $X/month.

I’ll take it.

Let me ring it up.

It will be $X+whatever. Cash or charge?

But you said $X. Forget about it!

*******

“Locked”

Locking is a standard practice. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an unlocked phone for sale in a US brick& mortar store.

Among the lies was that the “Lock” would only be six months.
And the monthly rate $30.00, NOT $40.00.
I don’t shop at China-Mart at all now.
