That usually gets their attention ;)

Cell phone companies and regular phone companies are the worse. I dont get this bullshit from my electric bill, gas, water etc... why do we get so much bullshit from phone companies?
i hate cell phone companies in particular with a passion. One time i increased my usage plan with them and come to find out they renewed my 2 year contract because i switched to a new plan. nevermind that this was never disclosed to me, and on top of that i was putting more money in their pocket, why penalize me. I could understand maybe if i decreased my service but when i am 18 months into a contract and i want to bump up to next level, don't commit me for 2 more years and keep it quiet.
And the bullshit where buy this phone for $75 with etra 2 year commitment.... fuck you i pay full price for my phones they can ram the extra savings up their ass, i dont want my damn contract extended for 2 years so i can save $100 on a phone.
Which brings me to this last point... why the hell do they have contracts in the first place. Why can't i be month to month like my regular phone... seems like price fixing tactics to me, the reason they do it is because they all agreed to. As long as no one makes the move to go month to month we have no alternative.
