How does some idiotic answering machine reduce your call times?

Because they can't stand you for more than 5 seconds at once?

By letting people leave a message you can call them back in the evening when its free if the call isn't important :icon27:

120 minute and 200 minute plans? Fucks sake I talk more than that in a single week.

My current plan is 1000 minutes and 400 text/picture messages for like $45. Somehow I still manage to go over but I blame the drunk dialing.

1000min isn't shit...

Good thing company pays for my cell. :icon31:

My typical phone conversation:

Greeting
Establish Meeting place
Establish Meeting time
Close

I can't stand talking on the phone, I just don't understand it when you can actually interact with people in person.

What?

I only pay if I call people. How is having Voicemail going to help me?

I'll tell you: NOT AT ALL! Instead of getting the information I want I'll be forced to talk to some of those stupid answering machine and GOD KNOWS when my call will be answered. In all likelihood, not at all. So I end up calling that fucking answering machine AGAIN AND AGAIN until finally a real person picks up, eventually paying A LOT MORE. Hell, an SMS message would be more effective!

And even if, by some crude universal failure of logic (or you live in some weirdo scat-friend land where incoming calls somehow cost you money), calling back would save money, this would still require that I have a landline, which I don't. And it'd be hugely inconvenient.

People who use Voicemail are almost as obnoxious as people who refuse to get a cellphone.

w3rd

my phone bill lands on something like 30 minutes/month

you others are all chatty little teenage girls

I do send around 200 SMSs/month though

Post by **MKJ** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 7:51 am

i get 150 mins a month and are allowed to carry 150 per month over (with a totla of 300). since i have my phone, it never dipped below 300 free mins.
how can anyone exceed their 400 min/month deal? seriously

Post by **Don Carlos** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 8:10 am

Should be on its way to me soon

nice phone donnie, how much

Post by **brisk** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 8:55 am

Yes, that looks slick.

I'm on a 125 mins any network deal, with 250 free text messages a month. Not bad for £9.99. But I don't even use them all really, and find they rollover a lot.

My friend pays £75 a month for his business phone, and literally has it glued to his ears. I'd hate that.

Cells (Mobiles for the 3rd-worlders) are a miracle for freelance consultants stuck in a data centers all day long.
Minute overages are pretty much a thing of the past in colorado. Cricket mobile put enough pressure on everyone else to bring the rates to a more reasonable 5000 minutes+ for sub-fitty a month.
