Pet peeve with offers
« on: March 31, 2014, 08:06:33 pm »
I wish that offers did not require both a phone number and a cell number.  I don't have a cell phone and that cancels me out of some.  What you say! No cell phone?  I live in that little white spot on the Verizon/att map where there is no cell coverage.  Now, that is rural!

I know what you mean.  I have a cell phone but it seems it doesn't work half the time.  My girlfriends sister sent a message and she got it two days later.  But there are not that many towers where I live.  I live out in a rural area of Missouri and there is a lot of places where we don't get service.

It's annoying, but really, there's nothing you can do about it. I understand your pain.

I make money with my cellphone, so I'm going to keep it.

I feel your pain.  Although I do have a cell phone, I recently moved into the one spot on the map that Verizon doesn't cover.  I don't want to pay an early termination fee, so I have to wait until September to change carriers.  This essentially renders my cell phone useless in my own home.  One thing I've noticed though is that most of the offers will allow you to put one number into both fields (or will only require one or the other to be filled) so I've been able to work around it by just using my landline number in most situations.

I'm with you. I have both a home land line and a smart phone. I do not mind giving my land line number but I will not give out my cell phone number. The reason is that I am on a senior plan. I have both limited minutes and text messages. I can not afford to go over. Thus, very few persons have my cell phone number and I do not sign up for offers that require I give it out.

 :monkey:I with you on that one. I'll give out my landline number, but I will not give out my cell number. There are plenty of other ways to make money with FC.

How much do you save with a plan like that? I have unlimited calls and texts for $19 a month.

Some do ask for both phone numbers. I don't give out my cell number. And why do they ask for both when they already got  your home phone something doesn't seem right

I never do offers like that. Don't trust them one bit.
