Is Bring-It-Back basically a lease program?
I'm curious about Bring-It-Back, and I've read all of the details. Isn't it really just a lease program? Do I literally own the phone, or does TELUS own it until my two years are over? I know it is semantics, but I wonder how this compares to non Bring-It-Back phone purchases. i) TELUS gives me a lower upfront price ii) I choose - in 24 mo. - if I want to give it back, or pay the amount I saved upfront iii) Technically I don't save anything upfront in this scenario, rather I defer payment iv) I only "save" because I didn't need to pay in month one, or v) I save if I give the phone back, and get into another phone without paying upfront, etc. Am I getting this right? I know it is an option, but it seems less advantageous than offers before where my savings were my savings. Any different POVs to help me understand? And if it is a lease, does anyone feel uncomfortable with that notion?Solved5.6KViews0likes2Comments
