    I wish manufacturers didn't allow carriers to install junk on their phone.

    On the other hand, this is how carriers can give you a good deal on a phone... They have to subsidise it by making deals with the companies that make apps like these.

    If they have to trick you by installing unwanted apps on your phone, where you don't even know it's them doing it, then it sounds more like a scam than a great deal.

    I agree. That's unfortunately how it is today though - either you pay full price for an unlocked phone (which some people can't afford), or you get junk apps on it. You can usually disable the junk apps at least.
