Why Did Disney Fail In The Cell Phone Market?

The Disney idea for cell phones seemed possible enough. Wouldn’t kids love to have cell phones from Disney? It seems very curious and shows just how competitive the market is. If any of you are thinking about starting a service anytime soon I would probably choose another area.

The main reason they failed is that they were in way over their heads. Disney had no idea how competitive it was going to be and that’s why they got their heads handed to them on a plate. They would have been a lot smarter to partner with a company that knew what was going down.

How To Get A $500 Cell Phone Bill

Back when I worked at RadioShack, at least twice per month someone would come in complaining about their $500 cell phone bill. Each time they were furious with the company they had service with. It didn’t matter if it was Verizon Wireless, AT&T, or Sprint - people would run their bills up with all three and get madder than the devil.

The easiest way to get a $500 phone bill is to not keep track of how many minutes you have. If you go over by even 100 minutes, you can plan on having an extra $45 tacked on to the end of your bill. Since people have no idea that it’s so expensive to go over, they don’ worry until the bill comes in the mail. Do yourself a favor and quit being a slacker. Find out how many minutes you have and upgrade if necessary.
