Today, almost all over the world, the cellular phone has become incontestably the most indispensable tool ever. Almost every one has a cellular phone (included the homeless). We are inflicted with a "stay-in-touch" addiction even to indulge in the most insignificant conversations. I can’t imagine how can a real estate agent or any business professional conduct a successful enterprise without a cellular phone.

Wireless communication giants are raking in droves of money by the minute. But do you realize how much money they are swindling from us by stealing one minute at a time?

Except for Metro PCS service, for a fixed minimal monthly service fee, one can talk anytime, day or night, local or  long distance within the continental United states until the battery goes dead and as long as you are within the geographical zone of the service, all other wireless providers defraud users with their automated operator who s-l-o-w-l-y walks you through the process of leaving a message to the party you are trying to reach as if this is the very first time you are using a cellular phone device in your entire life. First, you get the recipient’s outgoing voice message, then you get the automated operator who comes on saying: "Your call has been forwarded to an automated voice message. If you wish to leave a message, press 1 or stay on the line; after the beep record your message. When you are finished recording, hang up or press 1 for more options, or if you wish to leave a call back press number 5."

There is another service which I have not identify yet who is even bolder. That one has an automated operator who comes on saying: "Please stay on the line and listen to the music while I reach the party you are trying to call." Then, 15 seconds later, either the recipient answers the call right away or it goes to the voice mail box where you get the whole spiel I mentioned above.

Please write your Congressman, Senator, State and local Representative for them to put a stop to this sneaky petty theft which amasses to grand larceny in the long run.

By-the-way, I use my cell phone as my "Sell Phone."  I have been advertising my phone number in that fashion for the past three years. Under my name I write Call my "Sell" phone (954) 529-xxxx.
