Handphone Vs Relationship



This morning, I was advising a friend when he asked if he should upgrade his Mobile Plan, as he was kind of attracted by that free Nokia 6300 which originally costs $498.

I told him, since he has not decided if he will still be using this number,its wiser for him not to sign up for the upgrade cuz if he decided to end that line, he will break the contract and end up paying more... $0 might ended up to be $$$....
I reminded him...that in business point of view...all business or promotions are there to earn our(consumers) money...just a matter of time..

Like if, you upgrade your phone..they got you on contract they will earn the $$ slowly from you in this two years...tho you need not pay a single cent for that attractive Hp..
but if you break the contact...they earn more $$$ & faster..in either way they still earns your money...just more or less, earlier or later..

Thus my advise to him is..not to be tempted by the promotion...wait till he has finalise his decision if he still wanna use this line..then he can decise whether to take in the line.. By then new promotions will come out or he might just end up buying the phone at the original price..without paying more (as compare to him breaking the contact).

In relationship...sometimes we think certain people are attractive to us...even tho we know we are not ready to commit..but due to the temptation..we gave in, wanting just to enjoy that moment of happiness...which ended up costing more than we expect...creating unnneccessary hurt..
Similarly, upgrading your hp signing on 2 years contact without the readiness to commit..at the end if we break the contact we ended up paying more than the original price of the phone.. costing more than we expect.

Just a thot..

btw, this phone Nokia 6300 looks kind of like my Nokia 6120 Classic right..hahaha.
