Re: Isn't this already covered maybe not the proposed law, but the existing rules cover you for service: if you are within the 15 or 30 days at the beginning of your contract, you can get out of it. i believe this is standard practice within the wireless community.
plus, i would avoid handset insurance. like "inside wire maintenace" provided by telcos, it doesn't seem worth it. |

00000 | really? how many years have you been paying for it, though? at $5 a month, in 3 years you are at $180 for "maintenance". |

3 edits | It's like 4 bucks a month.
My total bill for rewiring 3 rooms that had what looked like depression era wiring at then $80/hr would have been more than $400. The guy was here more than half the day.
There was a second instance where the basement phone line feeding the entire house was bad. All the phones were "crackly". They came and replaced that as well.
So, I'm still ahead at this point. |

are you going to keep it? |

| Oh yeah I am.
My house is old, so there's no telling what's going next. I've always paid up front for warranties for my major appliances, etc. and I've had to use them for my TV, phone lines, dishwasher, washer/dryer and A/C unit.
Every time I've said to myself I'm glad I paid the extra $50 or whatever.
I know some people whom never use warranties AND have no problems at all.
That doesn't seem to be congruent with the streak of bad luck I've had over the years. Warranties are a necessity for me. |

It's phone wiring. You're on DSL reports. Go down to Home Depot, get yourself a spool of CAT5e and just rewire the whole house. Add a punch block and central wiring location if you feel like doing a really nice job. Far cheaper than your inside wire maintenance plan... |

That sounds fine if you're a 30 something, but if you're closing in on 70, like me, it's better to have insurance or maybe one of your kids as a telelphone geek.
