Caller ID and Hypocrites!!
I’ve got a problem … and it all stems from my mobile service provider. Though I subscribe to 2 of their services I shall not say that I am happy with their service. When it comes to service they actually quite suck.
Btw my provider provides me with mobile and cable services.
You see …. I subscribe for caller ID. This means that I’m actually paying to be made known who is calling me. Not paying to get Private Number displayed on my phone’s screen every other time. I mean fine the other party is paying to have their number kept secret …. Great I say, if it makes them happy. But that sure isn’t fucking fair to me since you’re charging me as well.
Look I hate getting calls from insurance agents especially as well as the occasional survey company. I hate having to entertain because I feel bad hanging up on them trying to make a living. And these people like to use Private numbers.
Hey what I’m saying is pretty direct. I pay you to show me the number. You better be adept at what you do and provide me with what I’m paying for. It’s simple. I don’t care about your arrangement with someone else. Your service says CALLER ID not SOME CALLER ID.
I’m going to give it a try and write in to complain about this. See what your management has to say. However if I don’t get a reply I’ll write in to the papers and see if I can get a reply. Which I’m quite sure I will get one even before I can read the posting.
Here’s a suggestion. Every time you let someone with a private number call me, you charge a portion of my CALLER ID charge to that person. Now that would be very fair and I’d be very happy.
