I find it humorous that the comments on that post so ardently defend Apple's disclosure fail by citing disjoint Verizon policy and/or brushing off as obscure operator switchology.
I am an Apple fanboy and a macrumors member since 2002 and that thread is infuriating. People bend over backwards to defend Apple by any means necessary. I just read the entire thread and it seems like Apple messed up here. I would be surprised if it was intentional, but they still clearly messed up. It's ok to admit that.
It’s really a bizarre read. It’s clearly an oversight by Apple (which I assume they will clarify as this type of situation repeats many times). Lots of people there seem to defend this ridiculous Verizon policy as well.
Indeed, just the first page was enough for me. The OP made a simple point - that clearly-stated facts didn't add up, and the entire first page was either suggested workarounds or unrelated advice. Completely useless and not addressing the original point in the slightest. I don't blame him for his final post on the thread before ragequitting.
