I don't have a landline service anymore. Dropped that sucker like a
hot rock a few years ago as the phone company was finding new and
creative ways every month to add all manner of silly surcharges
(taxes, recovery fees, access fees, franchise fees, etc. etc.) to
jack up the bill. They could do this with impunity because there
was essentially [b]no competition among landline phone
service providers in a particular neighbourhood, i.e., the phone
company that laid the lines in a neighbourhood was the one that
provided the service.
With cellphone service providers, it's a different story. The
competition is pretty intense, and the consumer is usually able to
net a good deal.[/b]
Well, I'm good and stuck with Sprint until end 08. It's amazing
how the landscape has changed just from being away for 3 years.
Soon as I'm able, I'm going for the Go phone. I don't make as many
calls on my cell as I used to. Good thing I can write it off as a
business expense. If both the kids had cells, I'd drop the land
line but they don't so I can't.
Say, what do you think of the Cricket?
