AT&T giving T-Mobile users up to $450 to switch carriers

article published on 5 January, 2014

AT&T is desperate in getting more customers. They are plainly greedy. I'm not a fan of theres. The marketing people are more than likely banking on the money so people will foolishly switch. It will be interesting for sure.
