Or does it have a thousand words of narrative, and three mandatory interactions? D)

So there you have it. From me the scenario as it should be for that fee and from Ishmael the scenario most likely to the one the MSC feels is fair and reasonablewinking smiley

And then, one week from now, you'll get an email saying "PLEASE HELP!!! DEADLINE!!! BLA BLA SHOP FEE DOUBLED!" and it still won't be worth it.

The system is tragically flawed.

The only cell phone shop I would consider for $5.00 is one where you call a cell phone store and ask a few questions.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Actually, a week from now they will give a $2.00 bonus and then raise by by $1.00 a week until someone takes it.

The reason they're doing that is because people are taking them at that price. If people would stop accepting less than minimum wage it would work itself out.

It's odd, because it looks like the standard requirements with narrative and such. Same company has $10.00 ones. It totally floored me to see this shop fee with a stipulation that you guarantee you will be willing to wait 20 to speak to a rep if necessary. I truly hope the msc just made a mistake. I like the msc. They are on my "check frequently" list. For me, this is a game changer sad smiley

I think I know the MSC you speak of though I'm not sure. It the client has the new policy where they will pay the early termination fees for a cell phone contract of a competitor I do know who you speak of. Not good, if it's the one and the same I won't be checking back often, either.

I'm doing a cell phone shop tomorrow and have to ask questions and take pictures of the merchandise and the store front. $18 it pays too. I couldn't see myself doing these for $5 :O

I saw an $8 cell phone shop but not worth the drive for the $$ smiling smiley

I would do the $5 phone shop if it came with a reimbursement of paying for my cell phone bill. Kind of like that cell phone study a while back I saw some people had posted to this forum.

Then again a shop where they reimburse a mifi and pay the data fee on that -- that would be worth it too LOL.

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.
