I made a call yesterday to inquire about the price of their internet service (Verizon). I was strong armed by the representative into a 15-minute disortation (sp?) of the features and benefits I was living without and simply must have.
I explanined to her repeatedly that I did not need call-waiting, three-way calling, call forwarding and an extended local calling area to areas of VA I have never been and don't know anyone! The kicker was to add these features it was going to raise my phone bill $7 a month in order for me to save $7 on the internet service! I had to tell her 7 times that I didn't need the services unless there would be no increase in my bill.
The best part of all was as I finally got it across to her I wasn't going to do it, she gave me another number I had to call to get the internet information I requested initially!
Is it just me or is my friendly local telephone representative becoming a telemarketer. I really felt like she was pressuring me!
