Nope, not true. Got latest bill via email Thursday, as usual it said: you monthly charge is $-0- this month. That's our usual, but twice in the past year we had $15.40 and one for $11.80, so we're happy that our original agreement HAS been honored. The "rub" for us is, IF we change our (now VERY old Comcast package "deal") we would actually get a lower price for the same services but would "loose" our original agreement for the cell service ("free" for life.... as long as you change nothing). What you are referencing is for some folks, who actually were not the very first to get the service, the "terms" have changed and they are now charged a minimum each month, they have no completely "free" option any more. But it's a trade off, if we change to a new package, we will (according to them) get a minimum charge for data. There's always something to have to push the pencil with ALL these providers, they are NOT in business to enhance OUR lives or offer "free" services.... LOL... they have a business to make PROFITS so..... we must do the math...LOL !
