You have in fact repeatedly claimed that the 7 would
be a free phone when it is nothing of the kind.

Another lie.

More of your bare faced lies.

No one has actually been stupid enough to waste their
time because you would just ignore everything.

More of your lies.

Wrong, as always.

More of your lies.

So they arent in fact free at all.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

And it makes a hell of a lot more sense to keep the
6 until the design fault manifests and see apple
replace it when that happens, with a phone with
at least as much memory, and no sales tax to pay,

But again, you just keep ignoring what everyone
tells you, so no one is going to bother rubbing your
stupid pig ignorant nose in what is better value for
you than that ripoff plan you are currently stupid
enough to use.
