Anyone have Verizon??

[LA_MERC_Nutria]

After Julie McMurry's husband died last summer, Verizon Wireless told the Enumclaw, Wash. woman that she would have to pay an early termination fee on his cell phone contract. "I said, 'This isn't an arbitrary thing, I'd be glad to fax you a copy of the death certificate. The man's dead.'"


The Verizon rep said McMurry could either pay the fee or give the phone to another family member.


She called Carl Hilliard, president of the Wireless Consumers Alliance. "I just happened to be in a meeting with Verizon Wireless's attorney and mentioned it to him," Hilliard said. "It was reversed."

Here's the whole story. I just thought this was the best part of it.

Hello, My name is Rebecca, Can I please have your Cricket phone number with the area code first?

And how can i help you today?

Could you please verify the name 'n social security number on the account please?

And the reason your bill is so high is because you didn't pay it.

Is there anything else I can do for you to do?

Thanks for calling cricket, and you have a lovely afternoon! Bye!

Imagine the long distance and roaming charges.

Truely a sad way to run a business.
