They claim the headsets are free, and charge you ~4.50 shipping
Actual shipping cost is 60 cents
So they do make 3 bux and change on every headset... not much but they're not giving them away for free

i paid 3.90 shipping for my free headset.. and i was aware of the shipping before i ordered it..
But are you gonna complain about that.. 4 bucks for a heatset.. To be honest, i though 3.90 was good coming all the way from the states...

60 cents
i'm not complaining, i'm just saying that their goal is to make money, not to promote safe driving

5 Minutes X Once Every 2 Weeks X 7 Years = 400% increase on the side of the head the person used the cell phone.
Let me do the math for you.
52 Weeks In One Year X 7 = 364 Weeks / 2 = 182 Weeks. 5 minutes every time.
So 182 X 5 = 910 / 60(Hours) = 15.2 Hours.
You do the math from there. 15.2 Hours on the phone and the tumor activity in his brain increaded by 400%, and that was on a relatively low powered cell phone.
Take a look at your phone's life use..check how many hours youve spent on it.
It'll make you think twice about using it, it certainly has me.
