Verizon needs to follow with this

I actually hope that VZW doesnt do this. It would be a good feature to have for some people, but it is actually a selling point for us reps that kids can't load up their parents bill with apps: it has to go through a credit card. Would be cool if they had a password that you needed to enter to bill to account, adds some semblance of control then for parents.

I agree with Tool. Bad idea. Confuses the issue too much. Customers will start to think T-Mobile is the source of the apps. This will lead to more credits and customer dissatisfaction ultimately.

If this new ability to purchase apps through your T-Mobile bill creates an influx of inflated cell bills, as some blog comments have suggested elsewhere, I wanted to add a tip for seriously cutting your wireless costs; an intuitive but often realistically tough proposition. However, I work in the consumer advocacy division of the Houston-based company Validas, where we electronically audit and subsequently reduce the average cell bill by 22 percent through our website, fixmycellbill.com (and I'll add that 22 percent equates to over $450 per year for the average user). You can find out for free if fixmycellbill.com can modify your plan to better suit your individual needs by going to the website. Check out Validas in the media, most recently on Fox News at myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/consumer/conlaw/lower_cell_phone_bills_072409 . Good luck to everyone reading on retaking control over your wireless expenses and potentially freeing up some extra cash this holiday season. Dylan Consumer Advocacy, Fixmycellbill.com
