LOL SBC

So I signed up for a local phone today online, and I came across a description that was totally incorrect in their service options. Given this is the same company that once while I was moving disconnected my old phone number, didn't connect my new phone number, and forwarded my old phone number to the wrong new number all in one fatal swoop, I had to send them an email. Here it is:

Your web sign up page isn't exactly truthful about your speed calling 30 plan. The signup option page states:

"Speed Calling 30 $ 4.00/month
Dial 30 numbers by pressing one button for each."

I don't know about you, but my phone sure doesn't have 30 unique buttons to push ONE button for EACH phone number stored.

Checking the details the truth comes out:

"Three Button Dialing — Just dial the two-digit speed code and press # to make a call. "

So somehow 1=3 (or maybe you are just rounding 3 down to 1 in an attempt to make mathematicians gag?). At any rate I hope my bill isn't figured out in the same manner.
