Cellular merger won't let users off contract hook

Wouldn't want it any other way...: I am a firm believer in sticking to standards and lock-in. People who bounce around from provider to provider are penny pinchers and only manage to mess things up. This is the approach we have taken with our Microsoft relationship and this is the same approach we took with AT&T. Because they offered the MS SmartPhone, I signed us up for a 5 year subscription, this way enabling my MCSE's to get support calls 24 x 7 no matter where they are, no matter what day of the week it is. I know I have a stable carrier providing the latest and greatest MS phone. My rep recommended we do this and I agreed.; Posted by: Mike Cox Posted on: 02/23/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
