By anywhere I mean different places like the official Verizon storefront I bought my Dare at, vs mall kiosks, vs other sellers like Walmart's LetsTalk, Dell online, or BestBuy???
My example is the Droid (though I'm waiting for the Incredible). My store last week still lists it at the full $199, I heard BB has it for $99, and Walmart/LetsTalk lists it for $20. Who services all these contracts? I obviously want the best price on the phone, but not at the cost of sacrificing who services my contract and/or poor customer service.
I'm curious how Walmart can make any money if they nearly give the phone away, and then do not service the contract either? I've also heard horror stories about LetsTalk so if they service the contract I'll gladly pay full list at a real VZW store.
How do the other stores work like Dell and BestBuy? Who does repair work and/or contract billing/payments for phones purchased there?
Thanks for any help.
