“Can somebody help me out here? Who’s the “second party”, if not the phone company”
The person on the other end of your telephone call?
I think that’s what they want me to believe, yes. I just can’t accept that that person, or all the people, I call have a more direct relationship with me, legally, than the one I already have with the phone company.
And until I make that first phone call after I sign up, who’s the second party? That’s the other thing. If that’s the phone company — and I think it is — then how do they get downgraded to “third party”? (I’m not expecting you to answer these.)
