Have you thought about ditching your phone?

Carrie...I am so sick to death of phone companies.....

We just got finished fighting Qwest Communnications and I'm talking about 3100 dollars over a period of a year and a half. They sold us a product for which we had no use; but, their experts insisted we needed. They are all predatory marketers. Sigh. Grumble.
While we didn't recover all of the money, they did give enough back so I would stop writing letters to every federal and state agency in this country.

We keep debating about whether or not to go cable or stay with dsl...so far, dsl has served us well here...cable wasn't here when we moved into the neighbourhood.

I don't love cell phones, but they are very convenient when I leave the house. Verizon, so far, seems to have the best nationwide coverage; and, since I travel a lot, I need one.

Now, I'm hearing about TMobile and how wonderful it is; but, do they have great reception? (Keep in mind, I live between two mountain ranges)...and how is the nationwide coverage.

Then again.....it's yet another contract.

I do like the Verizon to Verizon minutes.....but, hell, we're paying 80. a month for two cell phones.

I don't even know why I bother taking my cell phone places. I can't hear anyway, with all the background noise.

The 'Do Not Call'Registry is a joke, as far as I'm concerned. MCI calls both of my land lines weekly.

Check the coverage plan for your area. Thats the only gotcha with TMobile is they arent building out too fast.
