If you got a second or third phone etc 6 months into the contract, you'd probably suddenly have a two year contract upon adding the new phone. Good luck. Telcos, cellular as well as land line are able to write laws by themselves knowing our reps will just pass them along. Like Tom says, write your rep, vote them out.
Justice department just told FCC it should in essence allow AT$T to write any laws dealing with net neutrality. One rep from justice described the net neutrality debate analogous to the PO having higher rates for faster service showing they either have no clue what the debate is about or don't care. Probably both. I've seen people get out of contracts by roaming and making helluva lot of calls...when roaming is free of course. Verizon will still have to pay the third party. Start costing them money, probably the only way to get them to notice you. Mike On 9/13/07, Rev. Stewart Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well that is partly the problem.
