No, I'm not saying you're lying! All I'm saying is that I didn't know there where executives making such bad deals for their share holders. Five years ago you say? Hmm... that's when heads started rolling in many such companys.
Today I'd say people have learned. As I said earlier, it's against principles of contracts to make "life time" offers that you pay for once and never again. It's also related to consumers protection laws.

I always "rest my case" when proven wrong (and a few other times)  But I think it turned out that I wasn't wrong after all... the deal you're talking about is five years old. Much have changed since then... consumers protection is [luckily] not static. One might ask himself what this has to do with consumers protection; well it does, I just don't have the time to explain it.
I still bet my money that the initial post is wrong though.
About the "200 free minutes and no fee whatsoever for the rest of your sisters life" contract: It's a great deal! But since it was 5 years ago, I think she has to pay a much higher rate per minute if she exceeds those free minutes than someone who gets a contract these days. So, it was a good "life time" offer those days, but not today! If she wants to call at todays low rate when the 200 minutes are out, she has to have another contract though. That's [partially] why it has to do with consumers protection. But that's only one side of the story. The other side is business related and has to do with principles of contracts, but there's really no time to get into that subject.
Now, I finally rest my case
