After reading the fine-print, I feel like it is not a good deal at all especially after this line “Down payment & unfinanced portion req’d at purchase. Remaining balance paid in monthly installments.” in the fine print. If you say $0, it should be $0, why with strings attached and when we pay downpayment outright, it doesn’t make it as $0, IMHO. What do you think?
Thanks Ken for pointing me to the fine-print.

Reading the FINE print, you will see there is something due at signing (around $200) and then something monthly for 20months (like $20). Then a mail in rebate for the initial amount paid at signing (like the $200). So, you end up paying something every month for 20 months for the “$0 down payment” phone.
I was interested, until I read the FINE print!
