The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number, All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want
About a dozen calls from 866 259 3883. When the telco (Verizon) voice mail got it, they left no message. When I answered there was no one there.
I finally called back and talked to a woman who told me about the Verizon Wireless thing and the DNC exemption (which I knew about). She was pretty nice; actually shared that (like many such companies) their "war dialers" don't have enough staff ready to handle the number of calls they make, which is what causes the "dead air" when you answer. Anyway I got her to take me off the list.
Sure enough, another call today. No message on the machine. Aargh. I'm no vigilante, but if one or more of these Infocision dirtbags were to get his nads cut off I'm sure there would be many cheers.
As for VZW -- I'm leaving them the second my penalty drops below $200 for my five family lines. That's January '08. I won't bore you with all the details but take my word for it, it's outrageous what they've done. FYI, it's $5 off the $175 penalty per line for each month completed. I had two lines go off contract and that's why they're trying to get me to re-up.
I've been a customer since 1991 (NYNEX Mobile) but I'll tell ya, the group of jerks running that company now is unbelievable. I know that all these outfits are awful but without real competition they won't ever change. I'm going to a prepay plan, just so I can leave whenever I want.
