Question about Termination Fee

Easier to ask here than call and stir the pot.

Why would you ever pay full retail for a phone that cost more than 2-year promotional price + 175 ETF?

If a phone cost 500 dollars retail, but the promotional price was 200 dollars, why can't you sign up for a new #, pay the promotional price and the ETF which all adds up to 375.

Can someone explain this?

Don't forget that in most circumstances today your ETF would also be a partial one (since it'd be decreasing at $5/month for every month you've actually completed in the contract), so it'd be less than $175. The only time you'd have to pay for the full equipment price is basically if you wanted to keep the equipment and didn't pay the ETF (this generally applies in the first 30 days of getting the equipment and starting the contract).
