Verizon suing T-Mobile over allegedly misleading “savings” ads is a reminder that customers are skeptical of promo math.

T-Mobile’s “Experience More” push highlights Wappreciation savings and loyalty-focused plans—meaning customers will ask, “Am I missing perks?” Wireless dealers can turn this into a fast Perk Audit: confirm eligibility, show the real monthly value of perks, and bundle upgrades (accessories, protection, home internet) around what customers actually use.

The FCC is asking whether satellite SOS was enough to bridge the gap during the Verizon blackout—highlighting a key reality: emergency features help, but they’re not a full replacement for reliable service and backup connectivity.
