Other companies realized that there is still a huge market of people out there that don't want or need an Iphone and don't want the typical $100+ a month bill that goes with it. There are a lot of people that just want a cell phone they can talk on and send the occasional text message on. So they give away cheap phone and offer plans for those people. I decided to take that route with my business. I had no desire to try to create a tube site. I had no desire to try to fight to get my hands on a bunch of freeloaders and work my ass off to convert them. So I went out there and found other things and am working in those areas. The tube sites are Iphone. I'm the guy that gives away a basic phone and offers cheap basic service and there are plenty of customers in that world.
Smart man! Great example. And by the sounds of it it's working for you right?
