Verizon Fights Back Against Mobile Phone Spam

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the corporate-cheerleading-is-ok-this-time dept.

    I wish I had to deal with phone spam instead of bad service. I signed a two year contract with Verizon and all I say on my phone all the time is, "Can you hear me now?" ...guess you can't sue them for false advertising.

    That's what I bought a cell phone for, actually. Don't take it away!
