Customer

Why do phone companies treat their existing customers not as well as the customers they are trying to get should we chance carriers every 2 months ?

it's all about attracting new customers...existing ones are less likely to leave. Some will leave but a majority stay or locked in a contract.

My theory is that cell phone carrier sometimes consider the cost of acquiring a customer to be part of doing businesss.  Also, once something is a customer, there sometimes tends to be a tendency for the customer to not want to change. Promotion for new customers act as an incentive for them to subscribe.

Every mobile company will offer better deals to attract new customers.  That is the way business works.  At least with PM, there are no contracts and you can change anytime.  Also, PM just offered the free 1GB data add on and free long distance add on.
