Might As Well Send A Letter At That Rate

My wife and I like to text, but soon after we signed up with [Cell Phone Company], our texts were often delayed, sometimes for ten minutes, sometimes for three hours, and sometimes for DAYS! Mind you, we had signed up for unlimited texting, and nowhere was there mention of our texts being delayed at all, much less three days.

My wife called the company to see what the problem was.

Representative: “Oh, you want your texts delivered right away? That’s an extra $1.99 a month, each.”

Wife: “No, thank you. Please close our account immediately.”

After the usual attempts at client retention, they had to agree to close our account with them.

Two hours later, my wife had us signed up with [Huge National Company], and we’ve never had a problem in fifteen years.

Beware of special “deals” in cell service, or anywhere!
