Breaking News: Most People Hate Their Cell Carriers

Do you despise your cellphone service carrier? If you do, you’re in the majority.

Sprint apparently leads the pack among the most-hated cellphone service providers, but none of them are very far behind. I don’t actually own a cellphone. The reason for that is because, generally, I consider one a luxury and, given what I’ve seen happen to my friends who do own them, I’d prefer not to have bills show up every month with amounts larger than I had budgeted. I find it amazing that folks lock themselves into the contracts they do with cell phones. I suppose if you have a fair amount of disposable income, you can swing a cell phone bil that might be as little as 50 bucks a month but might be ten times that, depending on how many bonus charges you trigger and how often you trigger them.

The other reason is that I haven’t been any circumstances that have come up in the past few years where I’ve thought, “Man! I really need a cell phone right now.” It doesn’t hurt that I’m generally around a ton of people who have cell phones and who don’t mind lending me theirs for a quick call. Perhaps one day, when the service providers prove themselves more trustworthy and interested in dealing fairly with their customers, I’ll change my mind. Until then, feh.
