A small victory with a giant foe

Congratulations T-Mobile. After a year and a half of crappy service you finally let me out of my contract without having to pay the $200 early termination fee. I guess if you complain long enough and loud enough and profane enough and file multiple complaints with the Better Business Bureau you may finally get a little to go right your way in the ongoing battle with the big, evil cellular company.

It, on the surface, seems that a little sense is made in the fact that my Broadband is with Verizon, so just maybe I should add a telephone to that contract.  Which is exactly what I did and wasted no time doing it. I got what appears to be a better phone for $10 plus a much better plan — 900-some-odd as opposed to 300 just vanished with each new month — and the cost should be roughly the same as having separate cell and Internet plans. I say should be. I have been screwed with so many times by telecoms that I feel I have to stay awake all night to make sure they don’t pull some new BS with me. Or so it feels.

Ah, a bit o’ justice, for a little while at least with a new phone company and a new phone. And now, I have to learn how to work the damn thing by reading a owner’s manual that my long-dead dog could have written better. Let the fun begin.
