  Beware the bundled phone deal that sounds too good to be true. It probably is! So warns the ACCC's Dr Michael Schaper as consumers get caught up in phone contracts that end up as complex hassles down the track. Bundled phone deals may sound attractive, but don't be misled by a smooth sales pitch and don't sign up for anything until you've read the fine print. The ACCC's Dr Michael Schaper offers that warning as he explains how easy it is to get caught out. Bundled phone deals often include more than one contract. For example, you're offered a phone deal that includes "free" equipment. You may be left with an equipment lease if the phone deal changes or ends. Michael Schaper highlights the dangers and what you can do the avoid problems down the track.Topics: Business Processes, Legal, Management |
