       Phone Rage

Phone Rage & 401 (k) Performance 

    Through television and radio advertisement companies are now able to entice phone users through low minute rages.   in result more and more people are signing up for "cheap" long distance plans without realizing that the low, 10-cent-a-minute, would possibly  be  a one month only plan.  Or the, 5-cent-a-minute, plan comes with high fees the customer is not informed about. 

Why is phone rage present?

    Phone rage is present due the frustrations customers are experiencing due to misleading advertisements made by phone companies.  as phone companies  compete for customers they are resorting to scheming tactics.  in result they are losing the respect from their customers.

What can you do?
Read your bills every month to be sure your rates haven't quickly gone up.  Rate increases are usually announced in fine print at the bottom.  for a lower rate, you could call and switch to another discount plan.  Call every few months anyway.  That's your best way to find new and cheaper plans.
(Good Housekeeping, Phone Rage & 401 (k) Performance )

What's being done?

* Eight states have filed eight separate suits against AT & T, Sprint, and MCI World Company with deceptive advertising.
