313484 2005-01-14 11:51:00 I just never answer the phone, that way if someone is making a toll/cell call from a telecom phone to me it will go unanswered, and telecom will not be able to charge and make profit. ha ha ha haaaaaaa Rob99 (151)
313485 2005-01-15 09:26:00 Nuclear weapons also work, and have worked for a long time. Is there anything wrong with them in your opinion?

Nuclear weapons suck.

Thermonuclear weapons are teh 1337 uber shizzle.

Wow, Rob!

If you dropped 5 $1.50 toll calls per day and kept it up for ten years...

You will lose them 0.003% of their profits. If we all do that, that's 1000 members or so. 3% of all profits. Can be lost by PressF1.

Somehow, I think "Yeah Right". Doesnt work. At all. Something dark is going on guys.

313489 2005-01-15 23:29:00 Oh yeah.....

But if every PF1 member dumped TC entirely, we can cost them $100,000 a month (if we each spent $100 / month before).

Still not practical. Especially for a meagre effect of 0.01%.

Nope, fraid as a community we cannot make them feel our wrath, at least not with our wallets.

313490 2005-01-15 23:43:00 Hey I have an idea, let's nuke Telecom? Oh no wait, we'd go too...

I'd smile if Telecom cut the phone lines to all that dumped it - it's such a retaliatory thing to do, and wouldn't be a surprise coming from Telecom.

313492 2005-01-16 05:32:00 Come on dudes and dudesses......
Lets be slightly positive! Rather than endless slagging of Telecon (and no i don't like them), lets look at ALTERNATIVES. All this bitchin' about what people have is starting to really annoy!

:eek:

Wrong. Charging starts when call is answered, whether by human or answering machine,fax,modem etc.
