Blame it on Lily Tomlin's character Ernestine, but it is a tradition in most countries: we love to hate our phone companies. Heck Sprint even ran some commercials couple of years about “Sticking it to the man”
Here are other creative ways people are trying to get to the man (or Lily).
- Om Malik: Ronald Lewis, author of a soon-to-be-released book called “Stick it to the man,” has figured out a way to beat the subsidy.
- While the world was slamming AT&T over their miscalculated move, I sold my 16GB iPhone 3G and reserved my 32GB iPhone 3G S for $299. View the slideshow that confirms my pricing. Know what’s funny? I’ve only fulfilled 11 months of my AT&T contract.
- I read about a comment about a Verizon 3G plan for $ 15 for a single day – not very nice of them. The reader said “well at least it has no 5gb limit like their monthly plans. I would show them and upload my entire 1 TB database to a remote storage site”
- But the most outrageous way of sticking it comes from a family which uses their 2 cell phones as baby monitors on nights and weekends when they have unlimited coverage….
