The complete opposite of individualism, collectivism.
Just canceled my att home line (over $30 month plus long dis carrier at about 5 to 10 bucks a month) and installed the Sprint home line. 19.99 a month unlimited long distance. Plus a $100 discount for signing up.
Do they let you keep your old number?
