I've had a cell phone since 1990. The company I started with was bought out by a bigger company as cell phones became more popular. My subscription was bandied about over the years by a couple companies. A year or so ago, after one of the 2 year contracts ran out, I decided I had been getting screwed for years and there was alot more out there to choose from with no contract.

No more rollover minutes that get reabsorbed by "the Man" after a year. Over three times the minutes and texting for 1/3 what I was paying to the "the Man"

To the man>>>Eat My Shorts!!

Make the change people. Our biggest mistake is lack of action whether it be quitting smoking or changing wireless providers.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE

YOU CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
