There's a quite interesting psychological effect in play in that situation, which is exploited by these long trials.
People generally don't want to give up something they have access to, even if they don't really need it. They give you enough time to get used to having it, so that your brain is telling you it's an integral part of your life now.
I remember when I got trial Amazon Prime, to watch the first series of The Grand Tour. Years of renewals before I finally dumped it as a statement against "The Boys" for showing a guy getting graphically raped and murdered by a woman.
That was for only one year. I'm guessing all the people that took that deal cancelled their subscriptions before they had to start paying.
Isn't it practically the same price as just paying for it yourself, so is it really "free"/subsidized by the plan?
Verizon's stupid plans are head scratchers.
Yeah, it's why I went with T-Mobile. I have a grandfathered T-Mobile One plan back when it was just a $70 plan and nothing else. Taxes included too.
What's sad abou tthese stupid companies is that they've all gone woke. T-Mobile promoted a bunch of BLM fuckery and Verizon too.
And AT&T is shit where I am so there's really not much of a choice where I am. It's paying for the least evil at this point.
I stand corrected.
