I done updated my blog

Cellular service related. Check it out. I will never, ever, EVER, EVERRRRRR!!!!! reccomend AllHell again.

 

Basically, it is as organized a scam as there can be. Since I don't talk that much I went with T-Moble pay as you go, and live with the 10 cents/minute charge. Someday there will be a company with reasonable rates and integrity, but now is not that time.

 

I hear ya.

Pro rating minutes.

What the hell.

 

i did not realize they could do that (enforce something not in the contract) but then again we have also been stung.

a few years ago i was away on business for three days during that time a vacuum cleaner sales man called (yes really) he was a rep for the American model KIRBY he gave my wife all the blurb and the demo but as this thing was close to 700bucks she did not want to commit until speaking to me so they made an arrangement to come back in 3 days,then came the sting he said "i have only 20 models in the country at the moment and the next delivery is in 3 months so of you sign this provisional order i can reserve 1 for you and if you decide not to have it i can always sell it on as i have plenty of people waiting".

now i am not saying my wife is dumb and this speech did sound plausible but what she signed was a contract and here in Belgium that is binding there is no cooling of period.

to be honest the KIRBY is a superb piece of kit except for the price which we had to pay.http://www.my-smileys.de/smileys3/2up.gif

 

How much does it run for say the equivalent service where you are at, Philip?

 

I've heard Europe and Oz both have better deals. Bush and his free market economy, FME only works if the players are honest.

 

I done updated your blog too.....I also done updated mine

 

Same here LauraR, have Verizon and have been pleased with it. When we moved last year for the first time ever were dropping calls left and right. They offered to let us out of our contract with no penalty fees, but Dan being with them since early 90's (was GTE back then) plus them putting in a new tower this year decided to wait it out. All is good now again. To lazy to look @ the plan and break it down at the moment but we have 2 phones (Dan is always on his) and it runs around $50 something a mo.

 

My biggest gripe is the software standardization. The UI they use slows down the phones so much.

The phone selection isn't great either.

This was purely a case of wanting to see if the grass the greener...it wasn't.

 

We share and both have the update option on the phones. We're not at the same time for some reason though. On the other hand upgrades (for me anyway) are not always for the better. I get used to a phone then have to learn a new one all over, whew - old dogs-new tricks with me
I use that smiley way too much. I seem to live in the State of Confusion
