Who on earth would get roped into a 2YR contract for this garbage?
I mean seriously. It costs $20 prepaid! Why would somebody lock themselves or their family into a 2 year contract with US Cellular to save $20 on a phone? Carriers should seriously consider giving new customer's accounts service credits when they take such a low-end phone that comes with a pricey contract.
I hear what you are saying...but USCC says this phone is 159.99 full retail price. So, I guess the 139.99 discount is for getting a prepaid account....But whatever...terrible looking phone
