the 'madunit makes a stand' thread

[Spinach]

my electricery is through integrel

 

[PJ Marshal]

Telstra are scum, they try and rort money out of you at any chance you get, I've experianced the whole phone bill fiasco with em #-o

 

[Matt23]

I think everyone has #-o

 

[weasel]

Telstra once sent us a phonebill for zero dollars. :? We've never been connected to them either.

 

[Twizzle]

Thats probably why the amount was zero

mine normally has a few zeros

 

[***MH***]

I'll be working for Optus next week.

Telstra are thieves. I hate them with all my toothpaste

i can see your tower from my office window! *waves to the optus tower, realizes madunit isn't there yet and gets obnoxious stare from guy outside window*

unit, I can assure you that Optus are much worse than Telstra :evil:
I keep losing coverage with them for some reason, they're right annoying me atm. I've spent enough money with them, the least they can do is provide decent coverage.

 

[madunit]

Well I wont be directly with Optus, some mob called m8 telecom (American). Optus have jumped on their bandwagon.

some mob called m8 telecom

I'm with them! They've been pretty good to be honest. Good customer service, pretty good rates, excellent coverage. No other mobile companies can get coverage at my place, so I'll most likely be sticking with them for aslong as I'm living here!

AAPT are great. What you need to do unit, is call Telstra and tell them that you won't be paying your bill for a few weeks because you're in negotiations with another provider who have offered to pay your current phone bill if you choose to swith over to them. Telstra will will come to the party by offering you something more or better rates.

Most people can't believe how little I pay for my mobile phone calls until I tell them how I did it. ;-)

 

[nibbs]

why don't you just pay it?

 

[madunit]

Jordovski is on the go.

m8 telecom is who I'll be with soon. I'd tell you all the stuff about them, but you would run off and drum up a deal with them and i wouldn't get any commission, so screw that!

 

[nibbs]

i don't understand tbh. you knew how much it's cost to use their service (telstra that is), you happily used, but when you can't afford to pay your bill, you decide to go on a stand. the morale of the story is 'don't spend money you don't have.' if they don't cut off your phone line how will you ever learn? i suppose telecom can expect you to be a similar customer or can they?

 

[madunit]

I have the money.

 

[nibbs]

then pay the bill

 

[madunit]

that defeats the purpose of taking a stand

 

[*Sandy*]

LOL! unit! The next thing you will see from them is another bill with a late payment fee of $10 or so on it! :lol:

Yeah do what Andy says, you will save a late payment fee! ;-)

 

[madunit]

I'll be living elsewhere by then. The people here can pay it as it will be there phone thats disconnected, not mine :badgrin:

 

[KnightSmurf]

But seeing as the bill is in your name .. you are the one they'll chase. :lol:

Just go to their office with the sledgie and use it like you tell us here you do :lol:

 

[madunit]

oooh sledgie had been dormant for a while.

Time for a graphic.
