I had a long distance provider phone me, at 7 in the morning (this is early for me, as I am young and unemployed at this stage in my life) and assure me that if I switched to them, that I would not recieve ANY billing unless I made a long distance phone call, of course as naive as I am, and especially polite, I accept their offer, and switch. A month passes, and there is a letter from them in the mail, what could it be, some exclusive offer i hope! no a bill for their service, and their account transfer services, and their phone representative service. In the end i think i told them to take their deal and stick it where mom tells dad not to!! I specifically asked on the phone if i would get billed at anytime if i didn't make a long distance phone call, and surely enough yes means no!!! I wonder who runs the business world now... huh guys?
