dOoDz - That's right, Sprint just sent me a post card saying that the Universewill end on August 1, 2003! Thanks for playing!Well, OK, they didn't actually use that wording. What they used was:"We would like to inform you of an upcoming rate change on your Springresidential long distance calling plan. Effective August 1, 2003, thestate-to-state off-peak rates for your plan, Sprint Sense (sm) willincrease to $0.15 per minute."Why does that imply the impending end of the Universe? Well, you haveto think back to 1996 or thereabouts. Sprint was running a bunch ofcommercials with Candace Bergen. One of the promises Sprint made wasthat Sprint Sense would use the 10-cents-per-minute rate "Forever".Yes, forever!I would never accuse Sprint of being untruthful, so that must implythe end of the Universe by August 1!However, just in case, I think it's finally time to start looking atother long distance carriers. I've been on Sprint Sense for a longtime, even though I know there's better deals out there, just becauseI don't make a lot of long distance calls, and the savings inswitching LD carriers wouldn't cover the effort expended in findingsomeone new. However, with a 50% rate increase, it's finally worth mytime to look.So I guess thanks are in order!John C. Fowler, johnfpublic@yahoo.com(Note: Mail sent to this E-mail address is seldomread.)
