If you’ve been involved in Solavei for a time, you probably remember signing up and paying $49 and getting your first month of service and a SIM card. If you go back further than that, you probably even remember getting a month free to hook you into the program. You signed up, got your service and started telling the world about it. Then you started to find out the short comings of the plans and how bad the support really was.
Fast forward to 2014, or almost 2 years into the company’s life. Solavei has shocked the world again, and not in a good way. The Social Sharing program has now gotten expensive and it is probably doing so so it can cover the costs of it’s $100 million bankruptcy restructuring deal. The bad part for most, if you want to keep doing Solavei as a business, you need to pay the fee.
This isn’t a new user fee or a bonus feature, it’s to generate massive amounts of income for the company to help ease the blow of the debt they have accrued while allowing the top earners to cash in on all the hard work of those at the bottoms of their pyramids. Think about it, none of the income changing moves have penalized those at the top, it’s been all the little people that feel the cuts.
Of course, if you manage to enroll 6 or 9 people in various levels of plans, you can have your fee waived, but the $2000 that they contribute to the bottom line more than makes up for the $300 that you don’t pay in. Overall, this is just another way that Solavei masks a bad deal. Remember, the landscape has changed since 2012, and T-Mobile has made it easier to join up with them for less. For $40 a month you get unlimited talk and text, plus 500MB of data. Add $5 more and get 2GB of data. This is substantially cheaper than Solavei and you get full network support and help when you need it.
