I'd be furious if AT&T didnt
I'd be furious if AT&T didnt notify me when my bill more than tripled!This is the same company though, that allowed an unrelated third party to set up a calling card on my (landline) phone, billed to a different address, with a different contact name, and a contact phone that wasn't the account phone, WITHOUT ASKING QUESTIONS!
I have them now just because they're the only (unhacked) iPhone provider.
No more Phone Bills
Hey , here’s a way I’ve been cutting down on bills and getting rid of your phone bill all together…check this thing out .. I saw it on ctv news … you can make UNLIMITED FREE LONG DISTANCE CALLS to Canada and the US .. it’s a little usb device with a phone jack and you talk over your internet connection … I bought it actually works… I cancelled my phone service with shaw .. which was around $100 or so a month … this only cost $39 CAD and it’s good for a whole year .. after that it’s only $19 per year... You also get your own telephone number too.....This is really amazing .. finally an alternative choice to the insane prices charged by the corporate telephone companies …… I got mine at http://www.InterestingMedia.com …Enjoy :)
