aching to travel
alright so i haven't travelled for the last 2 months and i'm aching away. my antsy travel pants requires that i book some tickets and get on a plane so i have!
i've been looking for excuses to go away so i've found a Canadian Bureau of Internationl Education conference that my boss is letting me go to in Montreal. next week, hopefully i'll hear back about whether or not our international office will need to me on the recruiting trip to asia.
even if my recruiting trip doesn't come through, i'm at least headed to monteal...my antsy travel pants are somewhat appeased for the time being.
bloody cell phone companies
are all cell phone companies evil? yes. do all cell phone companies have terrible customer service? probably.
cell phone companies drive me nuts! i was at the Surrey SFU campus grand opening on the weekend and bell mobility had a booth there. they were doing the promotion for a "back to school" plan which if you check out the flyer - saids "$20/month including weekend and evenings". Then the plan goes on to list the features that's part of the plan = 200 local anytime minutes, unlimited evenings and weekends, free message centre, free call display, free mobile browser, free call waiting, call forwarding, conference calling & detail billing...
I talk to the guy in the store and he saids I need to call an agent at the bell service centre.
so this is what i've learned. when it saids "unlimited evenings & weekends", it means that the unlimited evenings is free but the weekends you have to pay for. You can't get the evenings without the weekends so it's actually not free.
The agent at the bell call centre also informs me that "offer and priceing are subject to change/cancellation without notice. products are not exactly as show. Bell Mobility does not accept liability for typographical or pictorial error."
so it seems that the flyer is a "typographical error" and Bell does not take responsibility for it.
so are all cell phone companies evil? yes.
