Why wouldn't a yardman want televsion on his phone?
I mentioned he was a yard man just by way of explaining that I was asked to help out someone who does work for me. It has nothing to do with why he would want that feature.
Getting the TV channels costs about $30 a month for the service plus airtime usage charges. He's already paying more than he can afford just for his talk plan (which is more than twice as many minutes as he uses) and making payments on the phone itself. That is why I had to bail him out. He absolutely must have a phone to call customers, and so they can reach him. It's not a plaything. It's essential to making a living, and he can't afford to be disconnected for nonpayment. The Sprint salesperson oversold him for his needs and budget.
