Ya know, I guess I'm just annoyed in general this morning. I'd gotten a card from my phone company (SBC) alerting me to the fact that my "promotional rate" for long distance is expiring in the next 30-60 days. After that, the rate goes up tp $.07/minute, AND they tack a $2.00 monthly fee on my bill, just because they can, I guess. Looks like it's time to shop around again for another long distance provider. I found one at Newsmax (GTC) that I used in the past. At that time it was .05/minute, now they advertise 2.7 cents (how do you make that cent symbol?) per minute. The nerve! Tacking on a $2/month fee. Geeze. As if there aren't enough "fees" on my phone bill already. I'm getting closer to just switching to using my cell phone (my nephew does that), but I need the phone line for the FAX (for my husband's work) and the DSL.
Why do you even have long distance service?
Don't even talk to me about phone company incompetence! I finally called this morning and raised enough h*ll with a supervisor that they credited my account for a full month of services. Well, duh! Seems only right since I have had OVER a month with none of these services! I still don't have my dsl modem, which I was promised last week and then on Saturday because they were going to overnight it. I still don't have voice mail and I still don't have long distance service. I expect now that it will get taken care of since it is starting to cost them money.
