ahmad: Having thought about this offer long and hard I can only come up with one major "catch" for the offer apart from:
1. $9.95 courier fee (which was not disclosed upfront, and only is mentioned well into the signup process over the phone - but which I accept is insignificant considering the overall offer), and;
2. If you decide to port your number to another provider or plan at the end of 12 months then I suspect you will be up for at least some pro rata of the $20 monthly fee that is due in the 13th month. You wouldn't do a port in the 12 month for fear of incurring an early disconnection penalty (far too difficult/impossible to plan to port it out exactly at the end of 12 month). So if you do it (say) in the first week of the 13th month then I suspect Slingshot would still charge you some or all of that $20 for the 13th month no matter how quickly you try to port in the 13th month.
Of course I'm hoping that the mobile market changes enough over the next 12 months that people that take up this offer will be offered something amazing next year to avoid a mass exodus of customers (hint hint)

2. It's all one month in advance, so yes if on the 13th month it may prove difficult to escape the $20 access fee. Mind due you've just had it for free for a year ;)
Just simply trying to work out a true TCO over the life of the plan and I still can't understand how you guys are doing it Good on you.
