What about for people like me?
I bought my device outright. No loans, no payment plans and no reason for that functionality to exist on my phone. Yet there it is, just waiting to be taken advantage of whether there is a valid reason or not.
This is the kind of apathy that leads to phrases like, "If only we had known" but we do ... and do nothing about it.
I can and will at least do my part for myself and encourage others to do the same.
