Giving You More Than Just My Two Cents
No More Fees!
California today ruled that it is illegal for cell phone companies to charge a fee to consumers who want to opt out of their cell phone contracts.
Its about friggin time. How many of you have been stuck with a crappy cell phone from a crappy company and couldn't get out of your contract without paying some horrendous termination fee. Its pathetic and its the cell phone companies way of not taking responsibility for offering a better quality product.The land line companies on the other hand used to beg for you to take their service. If you left MCI for instance years ago and went to sprint, MCI would offer $50 or something to take you back and that game would go on and on and on.
Really, the same goes for any other service, you don't like what you are getting you are free to change who you are dealing with. Not so with the cell phone companies. You don't like it too damn bad, pay us first before you leave your shitty service. That is basically spitting in the consumers face before the door hits them in the ass.
Either way now, if you are not happy with your land line long distance they don't punish you for switching providers, you can opt out at any time. I think what needs to happen with the cell phone industry is they need to get rid of this stupid contract system and let customers go where they please for their service. It will probably mean no more free phones for signing up for a plan, or if they do have that type thing they will keep the termination charge in place because you chose that route by getting a free phone. On the flip side, with no more termination fees, cell phone companies may start offering more affordable service and better quality phones and maybe take a little more responsibility for the products they offer.
