I don't know what to think. I'm going thru the mail and I'm looking at 260 and 180 for Midwest wireless and another 140 for Verizon. Now that's three accounts and David is contstantly on the phone, but damn. 580 dollars for cell service seems slightly out of whack.

I just put on a bandaid for my thumb and open 50 letters a day and prioritize them with proper notations. Then I put the important things needing sigs ect. in an Postal Service priority envelope to Arkansas and write checks.

I don't bother him with his chit, but damn, that seems a little bit expensive month after month. Anyone know of an unlimited plan that we could put 4 phones on that might be a couple hundred at least? $580 for 3 phones a month is insane. That's a damn Mercedes payment!

I'm sure he's aware of a landline. Doesn't help much when your constantly on the run does it, which is 80% of the time, the other 20% trying to get some rest.

We have Vonage for our home service in Chicago. It's a VoIP that's still making its way nationwide. It's $25 a month for unlimited calls with no long distance. The catch is you need to have a cable modem. We have two cell lines with Sprint with no roaming and long distance charges for about $100 a month for like 700 minutes. Nightime minutes start at 7pm.

Obviously I haven't been clear. I need mobile service with unlimited time. 580 bucks is ludicrous for three accounts. I think Mock's kittens might be on the same account, but it still seems high. I dunno, he has rediculous usage but it's all business. Anyone know of an unlimited plan? I just sort the damn mail that comes in at about 40 letters per day.

I have a plan with AT&T now cingular. for unlimited minutes, no long distance and no roaming for $99 a month. Not sure how I got it, but Im not letting it go. Everytime they want to lock me up in a contact for another couple years I let em.

I'm surprised you even own a cell phone, Mock. Seeing as how you only spring for basic cable. I figured cellular technology was a bit beyond your means.

Good for you.

You're into pig boys now?

No. I'm not going to help you with that. Sounds like an Iowa thing.

Watermock, what's the need with all of the phones?

Too many 1-800 sex lines blocking your past numbers? That's a ****ing shame. If I were them, I'd be glad to be paid in paint chips and food stamps.

He's got Midwest Wireless up in Iowa and Verizon in Arkansas. 580 dollars warrants a new look. I'm going to call nextell right now. The problem is that he will get a new number I think.

nextell can set me up for about 220 bucks with a walkie talkie.

We have five lines with Verizon Family Share... with 900 shared "anytime" minutes. Nights (9pm - 5am) and weekends are free, as are all calls to other Verizon customers.

Did you subscribe to the the 4 million IPO shares that they set aside for Vonage customers? What a beauty. Priced at $17 a share a month ago they closed yesterday at $8.85. Now thats how to keep satisfied customers.

They can port the number from one service to another. Its the law. Don't let them tell you otherwise.

The calls between family phones... or any other Verizon customers, for that matter... are "free"; that is to say they do not count against your "anytime" minutes allotment.

I just wrote two checks to Verizon. 280 for Dave and 160 for Matt his son. Plus he's got a midwest wireless account that doesn't even reach Arkansas. That was like 140. I'll get it figured out once I can talk to him. I think he's addicted to the thing, not for yapping, but business. How times change. We had CB's in the equipment, then some cumbersome FM thing that worked with landlines that were 500 bucks each, now these cell phones that do everything but wipe your ass. These phones that take video have to of allready captured some pretty funny things, like, "that's why I call her my Humvee..."

Hey, Wantsacock, did you finish your brother's monkey work yet?

You his secretary or just his bytch?

Just because the guy supports your squalid standard of living doesn't give him the right to make you pick up his laundry and wash his car like you're some runny nosed peon.

Why don't you grow a dick?

If that didn't just lock you into a HOF position, I don't know what else you can do.

No, but they did offer us shares at the IPO. I picked Dick's Sporting Goods a few years back as an IPO. Had a 43% return that year!
