Party Line

Supposedly my uncle had a party line up until the time he died in 2002. I learned of this yesterday after his wife died from my mom. So I guess the old fashioned shit is still pushed on people. And here is the kicker, it was only 4 dollars less per month. Cheaper for the phone company to just offer that.

Talk about messed up!

"I learned of this yesterday after his wife died from my mom."

Wow, you just confessed that your mom killed her.

Just spoke with my great uncle (82 years old) who was told
by Cingular that he needed a new cell phone (he was having
difficulties figuring out why the phone wasn't working).

-- He needed to plug it in --

Nevertheless, he is in a contract for x minutes that amounts
to over 40 cent a minute. Did Cingular, or would any wireless carrier, advise him to get a prepaid cell?

The marketplace in action....

Of course he can't cancel...it would cost a small fortune to sue the cell phone company to do so.

On the other hand, how many people are renting their "Cable Boxes". Equally humorous and likely much larger than the fools that rent their telephones.

Are you one of them?

Talk about messed up!

Unfortunately renting a cable box is the only way to obtain digital cable with interactive features for most.
