Can you hear me now?

[PinotEnvy]

To put in my 2 cents/minute on this topic, I had my own war with the long distance providers. I was disputing a $10 charge. They refused to do anything about it, so I decided to disconnect them. I have spent the last 2 years with no long distance carrier. Instead I use those pre-paid calling cards you can get at Sam's Club or anywhere else. They run about 2-3 cents a minute depending on where you get them. You can refill them over the phone, so you do not need to get new cards all the time. There are no additional taxes, fees, etc.

Oh, and back to the phone company... After them refusing to credit me $10 to keep me as a customer, about a month later, I get a check from them for $40 to switch back. Lets see here. Don't they understand it is cheaper to keep a customer than to have to try and win them back? I put the check in my shreadder anyway. Once I discovered I did not need a long distance carrier, I would never go back.
