1. Did you know that probably costs you 15 cents each...

Verizon customers are trying to get a class action suit together because of the flimsy (and profitable to Verizon) spam filters.

5. I am so fucking fed up with Verizon

They've fucked me three times in the last dozen years, I forgave them the first one, and came back to them since my new wife had service with them and put me on her plan. Then we broke up, I moved to NY, and went to work for them as a temp. They dumped me after three days, because I "hadn't been hired as a result of attending a job fair" and they didn't want me coming in the back door as a temp. But did I learn of their tricks during that time!

So, when my two years was up, I switched. They charged me the early termination fee, and the rep who I called said it was a "mistake" and said she was crediting the fee. Of course, they still withdrew the fee from my bank account (yes, stupid me, will NEVER give any company the right to access my bank account for payments ever again!), and now I have to wait three billing cycles for the shits to send me a refund check for a fee they admitted they never should have charged in the first place.

Whatever you do, avoid Verizon Wireless with everything you've got.

6. Especially in the middle of the night...

one assumes it is emergency (or at least I do) - and thus have to wake myself up to read and then find it is spam. Too late, already wide awake (due to concern that it might be a serious problem). I can't imagien that these messages ever amount to much (per returns for the spammers) - but yet the calls continue. Argh!
