If you had your own cell phone company...
 

If you had your own cell phone company what features and services would you want?

A sensor built in so when the user of the phone is being an annoying jerkoff with it, like driving like an idiot while yapping, answering a call and yapping while in a theatre, etc, a little robot arm with a hammer comes out of the back and smacks said idiot upside the head.

OK... That's a good one.

1. The Bitch Slap.

Honesty in rate plans and some fucking customer service for a change.

Unlimited calling at a reasonable rate.

Both reasonable requests...

So we have got...

1. The Bitch Slap.
2. Honest rate plans
3. Decent Customer Service
4. Unlimited Calling

Unlimited is coming soon. I think with Cricket doing it and expanding slowly there market - others will follow.

I'm glad the bitch slap made it in there at #1.

I am curious to see what the big carriers are going to do with this. Just taking a quick look at Cricket I think they are an MVNO using Verizon as a back end. They also have a couple other brands. Jump... They are doing unlimited at $60/mo which is a good deal. I wonder where they are making their money back selling at a loss leader???

Number 1 with a bullet! Bang!

From purely an idiot end-user standpoint I'd personally love to see a plan that matches that of my digital phone/cable provider's plan, that being I currently enjoy unlimited calling to anywhere in N. America (all long distance in N. America is considered a local call), and a small per-minute rate to any other countries, all for a flat monthly rate. Currently I pay $40 per mth and nothing more, period, finito.

If there was a cell phone plan like that I would seriously consider getting rid of my digital land line altogether and just go with cellular.

Might be an outrageously stupid request but so what? That's what I'd like to see made available.

Now gimme. :D

Oh, and I'd like multiple phone units included in above-mentioned package.

Thank you. :D

Many of the local phone companies are doing that. I have my land line and cable through the same provider. I pay about the same. I'd rather have all my communication services in one tight bundle.

I don't think that is an outrageous request and I am going to figure out how to make that a reality.

If Cricket's biz model is sane. They may be on to something. I know I would have to make up that revenue somewhere. According to Cricket their users go through about 1500 minutes a month. They are public so I am going to look at their filings and find out more about them.

I really appreciate you piping in with input to this thread as I am not only a sex machine impresario I am now a private label phone god and want to offer as many different options as possible for people with a strong brands to market.

The more the merrier

Yeah, maybe something like "If you commit to 3 years of service at $40 per month we will throw in an extra two phone units (on the same plan) for free"

That would be good.


And it should go without saying that it should include everything... roaming, EVERYTHING. ANd I should never or at least rarely have trouble getting a signal, even in the middle of Sealfucker State Park, Alaska.


I WANT IT ALL BAYBAY!!

Oh, I see you have been to Sealfucker State Park, as well. Ever been to Penguin Bukkake National Glacier. The ice is very slippery.

free lifetime service for friends!

:winkwink:

Actually no, I've been holding off all this time because no one seems to be able to get a cell phone signal there. :D



My last request for the night: service must be available in Canada.


Okay now I've crossed the line of good taste, right? :1orglaugh

No contract.

just for my 'special' friends.

:):):):):):):)

I would sell the thing. All cell phones suck.

Nice. Agreed, contracts only benefit the carriers. If we are locked in than we should be able to choose any phone for free. If a carrier is good then they will keep our business.

Similar racket to hosting contracts.
