We recently used Sprint as our long-distance carrier, until we received a notice from them in the mail on Mon. that they would be charging an additional $.99 fee (I'm still confused as to what this fee is actually for).

Needless to say, I changed carriers on Tues. Glad I did it since they are now sending American jobs overseas.

Kumar said he does not blame Sprint and the many other companies that have turned to cheaper labor overseas. "They have to follow the model or go out of business," Kumar said.

We get what we (don't) pay for. With price as our main consideration for goods and services, overseas competitors win. First it was manufactured goods, now the service industries are going.

The paleos here will argue that, because you did it they are now sending American jobs overseas.

I just got rid of my PCS phone (work now provides me with one) when I called to stop the service they asked if they could offer me lower rates to keep it. I told them if they bring all the offshore jobs back from India I would use them again...
