Carrier coverage maps misrepresent real-world signal quality

Mobile carrier coverage maps significantly overstate actual signal quality, causing customers to sign multi-year contracts based on false information.

Carrier trade-in and gift card promotions routinely go unfulfilled after switching

Once locked into a new contract, customers have minimal leverage to enforce promotional terms. This is a recurring fulfillment failure pattern tied to acquisition-focused sales tactics with weak back-office follow-through.
