but you have to pay to find out. It is possible though and if it is such a nuisance, it would be worth the meeger cost to put an end to it.

How to cancel cell phone service
Hope somebody can help with this. I want to cancel cell phone service (contract expired, and I simply don't use it enough). Have AT&T/Cingular and was trying to find a way to cancel on line. Does anybody know the magic trick? Of course I realize they are going to make it as difficult as possible. Just want to avoid having to talk to a customer service person, as I know I'll have to deal with the sales pitch. Thanks!
Does anyone use Suddenlink phone service? sm
I am just curious if anybody has any thoughts about this. TIA
SuddenLink phone service
Hey Becky,
I am considering it as my bill would be so much cheaper not to mention convenient/paying all one bill for cable/phone and internet. Where are you located? Alexandria Louisiana
Anyone ever tried Vonage the phone service? sm
I was looking into trying Vonage for a phone service. After reading about it, it seems like it would work fine. But I am still concerned about all of the connections and processes it has to go through just to get a phone call. I currently have cable modem so that would be okay. I was just wondering if it works as well as they say it does, what are the "hidden" startup costs, and please tell me everything you can. I hate anything with contracts and this is just something I don't really know anything about. Thanks!
I had it on my cell phone too! lol

How many of you use only a cell phone? sm
We're going totally wireless in our house next week after our alarm company converts our system to a radio one. The cell companies in our area have finally gotten the offers down to where it's cheaper to go cellular exclusively than pay a cell and regular phone bill. What about you?
cell phone
My family and I (husband and two teenagers) all have our own cell phones. In a dire emergency of no power, our car will accommodate an attachable adaptor for the cell phones to recharge. It made things simpler, and no extra added bill from a phone company. It has been this way for over three years now.
cell phone
I have 4 phones on my bill. We pay $9.00/month extra for unlimited texting for my son, otherwise our bill would probably be that high. Our bill with 4 phones and extra for the texting is $90.
long distance phone service
I live in NW Ohio and am having a difficult time finding a LD carrier that allows medical transcription. The company I work for only allows .5 and under but I'd prefer a plan that is flat-fee. Any ideas?? Thanks so much.
anyone have Charter internet and phone service? sm
We live in the country and no fast speed internet is available until now. Charter has fast speed internet and telephone (and cable, but we are staying with Dish Network). I'm so excited about this! I've been working at home for 10 years now and never had anything but dial up. I've heard their customer service stinks. Anyone have experience with either service?
Thanks!
What is your cell phone co.? I'm shopping around sm
Our family uses TracFone. My daughter is trying to convince me to go to something different. I need to keep costs down, but would like any info on something that includes texting and some free anytime calls. What are your experiences and what does it cost you a month for a family plan? Thanks.
Cell phone arguments
I was in line behind a woman who was talking to her child on her cell phone. She said she would be home about 10 minutes, could she talk to Daddy? Daddy got on the phone and she proceeded to rip him a new one rather loudly in a matter of seconds. Really see no need to air that kind of thing in public.
Are you sure it was him? Does someone else have access to the cell phone?
.
it is awfully peculiar that he used your cell phone..sm
No offense, but he either purposely wanted you to see this or is extremely moronic. I think you deserve better. That is not what someone does to their significant other if they truly love them.
Close down the cell phone
I bought a cell phone from Radio Shack. It's pay as you go. I'd play innocent to him and say...oh no, someone must have gotten a hold of our phone number because there is over $150 of charges to some phone sex place. Then tell him your going to the police to fill out a fraud report. If he then admits to it you should tell him that if he wants to do that (call sex places) fine, but he should respect you enough to tell you about it. Then I'd have a serious conversation about our future together and then tell him if he wants to continue to buy his own cell phone with pay as you go and he can work the extra hours to pay for the bill.
Cell phone as a modem
I'm moving and won't have a home phone with DSL for a month so I'm about to buy a Blackberry Pearl so I can use it as a modem and tether it to my laptop for downloading sound files and then uploading my work. I've about gone insane in the details so I'm looking for anyone who has done this and can confirm for me that it works.
My cell phone provider has told me this will work.
Can anyone recommend a cell phone - sm
plan, one number, two phones if that exists, or a 2-phone plan, 2 numbers? That is not outrageous in cost. Thinking of eliminating home phone at $65 a month just for the line, extended local calling and unlimited LD, just keeps going up, was $50 a few years ago. In a rural area so really don't have any choices out here. So figured we could get a plan with 2 phones, one for me, one for my husband, just don't know how that works. Did a little looking on line and cheapest I could find was about $70 a month, which obviously is not what I am looking for. Prefer to find something for $40-$50 a month, may 500 minutes unlimited calling at all times a month, don't need much as we are not on the phone that much. Just had Verizon put a tracer on the home phone so I can track how much LD we actually use and if it would be more feasible to just go back to a pay-by-min plan and ixney the unlimited LD. I think we can save a lot that way. Probaby have to give up the caller ID but so be it. We may be able to get away with a 1 phone plan as my DH has a company cell phone for which I could call him on if he was at home and I was at work. Just cancelled my 2nd line as I was not using it much anymore for work so that will save us $30 a month right there. Just trying to pince a few pennies here and there. 
I still pay for my daughter's (20) cell phone,
however she pays for texting. She also makes her own car payment and pays her insurance (she is on my policy). SHe is a full time college student only working part-time, so she does not pay rent.
I HATE CELL PHONE USAGE TOO....sm
the bane of the world - that fricken fracken cell phone - one day I had to listen to a stranger describing the bowel habits of his dog....HATE THIS GADGET........
DH has Garmin mobile on his cell phone - sm
In my opinion, this is the best service he has ever gotten. We had the Garmin on going through Atlanta at 7:30 a.m. (traffic nightmare), and the Garmin got us through in record time by avoiding the crowded areas. It took us a little while to figure out the lady's voice was saying "follow route" and not "turn around" and to figure out she was saying "recalculating" when we over-shot our exits (which is really great about this service...it follows you around and corrects when you screw up).
withheld cell phone calls
my son keeps getting crank calls on his cell phone all the time. I called ATT and they say there is no way to tell who it is. How can I find out. I know it has to be one of his friends. Now he is actually getting weird messages. Any ideas?? Thanks
Thank you for the offer. I don't have a cell phone contract, i do the pay as you go. sm
i have ATT go phone stuff. Thank you though.
I use Tracfone but have heard of cell phone - sm
bills being quite high due to texting. If your plan does not cover that, and your kid or whoever has the third phone on your plan is texting up a storm, you are being charged for each and ever text he/she sends, who knows maybe on the received texts too, call your provider and ask why it is so high, then either find out if you can cancel the texting ability or take the phone away from the guilty party. ---make them pay for the overage too.
Yup - they'll hit your cell phone sooner or later. I'm getting them now. nm

My boys didn't have their own cell phone but sm
used ours and bought us a new one when they lost it. They coughed up their share of the car insurance when they got their driver's licenses at 16. No way could we afford to pay insurance for 3 boys to drive. LOL-and they all have impeccable driving records.
what's wrong with taking his cell phone
with him into the bathroom?
Talking on the cell phone requires one hand to --sm
be on the phone and not on the wheel, unless of course they use a headset, which most do not! They have less control of their vehicle.
Besides, it is hard to ignore people at other tables who are talking on their cell phones, when they have to talk so LOUD to be heard over the background noise, that you cannot help but hear their conversation. I personally do not care what they are talking about, nor do I want to hear it, but cannot help it. Personally, I think people who take their phones with them into restaurants and public places, and have them constantly ringing and talking loudly about private stuff, are just doing it for attention, and to TRY to annoy other people. There is such a thing as cell phone etiquette too, you know, one of which is to leave your cell phone off while in public.
New high school cell phone policy
Friends of our work at a local high school. That school has become fed up with cell phone usage in their school, so they have become rather devious.
If a cell phone is caught ringing, the teacher takes it and sends it to the office. The only way the student can get their phone back is if the parent come to pick it up. Even if the student is 18.
But the nifty thing? The V.P. scrolls through the address book and tries to identify some of the other students. Then she goes to their classroom, stands outside the door and calls their phone from the confiscated phone. If she catches the student answering the phone - automatic Saturday school.
Sounds almost like entrapment.
Question. I want to get a cell phone mainly in case I would have car trouble, etc. Which are
 the best deals with cell phones that you dont use actually very often that dont cost a ton of money and get good reception in most areas. I have never had a cell phone and I have Verizons plan that I can call anywhere on my land phone so I pay a good bit already for phone service. Any input would be necessary. I dont want to pay a lot of money for something I will use very infrequently and lose all my minutes if I dont use them.
Dear teenage girl on the cell phone...
saying the word F**k many times during your conversation does not make you sound cool or grown up.
From the lady who is going to slap you silly
Love the cell phone commercials (cingular?) about dropped calls
They are so funny.
Not road rage, but cell phone rage
Is anyone out there annoyed as much as I am with the dictators using these cell phones right where they are dictating and going off right in your ears???? Some are put so close as to interfere with the dictation equipment and thus the screech comes on. Unbearable....
reverse it
I want out of my marriage. Been married many years and been unhappy for many years. I care about my wife and don't want to hurt her, but I just don't love her and I want to be on my own with my two girls. They are not too fond of their mother, and I feel that I could give them a much happier life without her in the picture. I just want out, but she is holding on for dear life. It is too hard for her to give up the convenience of having everything done for her, I suppose.
Any advice on how to go about this in the most painless way possible??
Have you tried reverse psychology on him? sm
I have an 8-yo son who is very defiant like that. I have learned the only thing that works with him is reversing the psychology. I have to be extremely nice to him to make him behave if that makes sense. I ask him to do things rather than tell him. Once a battle begins, the only thing that works is being very loving to him. Then he straightens up and is on the best behavior all day until another trigger!
Do you know about reverse mortgage?
Maybe not, you might be young but will explain for others who do not know. If you own your house outright and should your spouse die, you get sick, whatever you can continue to live in your house, and you possibly would get money also to live there until you die. Called reverse mortgage. More should know about it. A company takes over and then you will the house to them upon your demise. So that thing about selling the house, nah on this end. As far as short term social security, may be for younger people or not be all and from what I am hearing by the time social security is due to give out, probably would not be around then anyway so don’t worry about the short term thing there, money from previous hospital is until my demise, again no worry there, money in bank building interest only, don’t take from there, no problem there either. The only thing I consider myself rich in is happiness and love. Next.
My daughter is eloping in reverse! sm
She and her sweetie are coming to my house later this month and they are being married by the JP in early January. He has decided to deploy to Iraq in April, rather than defer for school, so they are getting married. She stayed with me this last summer and they met in June where she worked, although both of them are from out of state. They have been carrying on long distance and to be honest, have only spent about 12 days together face to face, but are getting married. They did some fighting initially, but after a short time that all quit abruptly and they have settled into a really nice place. They are very well suited to each other.
He called to ask my permission and I gave it. They are only 19 and 20 and I know, I know, I KNOW, but everything in me believes this is right...it is my mother's intuition and while I don't understand it, I'll trust it. I have been making a little dress for her to wear and will make a cake and have champagne. They have both thanked me for hosting their elopement in my home, for making the dress, the cake (I decorate cakes so it'll be fancy) and making this a magical day for them.
It is bittersweet for me because I am worried for him, and what happens to him happens to my daughter too. I want this and I am pretty excited to see my baby girl get married for love. I didn't marry for love and I am glad she is.
Read really good news on reverse this morning
including FHA which is for only over age 62 and which is insured. With anything people need to check these out. There are really good ones out there and thanks for bringing this up again.
I would take his phone away or make him pay the bills for the phone
He can use the postal service to write her letters if he wants but there is no excuse. College is not highschool and if he's gonna make a go of it...be the parent and discipline....my opinion but take the phone away.
thank YOU for your service!
No matter what branch, age, sex, etc., the entire military has my utmost respect. I only hope they know how many of us get a lump in our throats whenever we thank them on the street OR watching something as moving as this. I know I'll never forget! 
met in the service
Met in the service overseas. Dated a short while then went to Denmark to get married. Lots of soldiers were getting married this way. In Denmark there were 8 other military couples with us getting married. DH and I knew each other not very long. It's been 32 years this year.
I do not tip if it is self-service.

You mean own your own MT service?
If so, yes, there is a book. My friend has it. I will have to get the name of it from her.
They can refuse service to anyone at will.
Even Wal-Mart can throw you out for any reason they want.
I'm glad he did it. I went to Jeff Ruby's Louisville website and sent him a support e-mail!
Thank goodness business owners can still decide WHO they want to serve and do business with!!!!
My vet has a service that provided sm
the transportation to the cremation facility, which is about 2 hours away and the remains were mailed back to the office and I picked up the pretty little tin when my 14-year-old Cocker died 2 years ago. She is now in my curio cabinet with her picture so I don't forget her. She had to be put down as well, very, very severe stroke and was not coming out of the seizure she has having. I didn't have any problem making the decision. I couldn't stand watching her suffer so. It cost about 200.00 to have her cremated but I didn't want to bury her in my yard. Too many wild critters running around that like to dig.
We met in the service in Germany
I was stationed in Germany and about a year later he was assigned to my unit. He was very very handsome and very mysterious. We didn't date (or even really speak much of maybe 5 words to each other) until end of June of 82 and July 15 we took a train to Denmark and got married. Shocked the you know what out of our families. This July is our 26th Anniversary.
Believe it or not a Dating Service
I was sick of meeting losers so I decided to take the chance. We were engaged after three months and married nine months later and will be married for 17 years in September. The first time he introduced me to his friends a week or so later, they told him we were going to get married.
our service is almost never interrupted

Dating Service
I was tired of not being able to meet anyone. I actually got matched with a lot of great guys, but no one struck me as "the one" until I met my now husband. We talked for about 5 hours at the restaurant our first date and saw each other every day after that. We were engaged after a month and got married a year later. Now almost 18 years late we have to great daughters 15 and 5.
Met through a dating service
I was sick of not being able to find anyone decent. I say it was fate, because he said he hated answering machines so when he called me the first time, and I wasn't home, he could have said forget it, but he decided to give me one more call and I was home that time. If he gave up the first time I never would have met him. We dated for one month, got engaged and married a year later. It will be 18 years this September.
How about diaper service?
Depending on how much you want to spend, you can buy as much time as you want. My sister got 6 months worth as a shower gift and absolutely loved it! The company initially set her up with a santized odor-less container to put the soiled one in and more than enough to last for a week, then they pick up the dirty ones and leave clean ones once a week. It saves money for the new parents and is good for the environment too, no diapers in landfills.
wherever customer service is deplorable!...nm
